Exceptions
Additional Advisor as Advisor of Contact: On rare occasions, a student may have an Honors thesis mentor who is not a UD faculty member. Examples include: a UD staff member; an expert from another college, university or research lab; or a mentor from a community or service organization. In these cases the student will also need an advisor of contact, who is a full-time UD faculty member. The Advisor of Contact will coordinate with the student’s Honors thesis mentor by submitting interim progress reports and thesis course grades. Typically, the department chair or program director for which the thesis credits are being pursued serves as the advisor of contact in these cases. The advisor of contact does not have an active role in the oversight of the project and does not set the expectations for content or completion.
