Final adviser-approved research papers are to be submitted to the Graduate School via email to millerjosh@uwstout.edu.  The research adviser must also be included on the submission email.  These are hard deadlines and late submissions will result in not graduating until the next term.  Consult the Research Project Guide for information regarding your research paper.

An Appointment of Research Adviser/Chair and Committee form [PDF] must be submitted before enrolling in a research paper course and before graduating. Completion of the Human Subjects Training through Research Services is required prior to data collection.
