Upcoming Culminating Experience Deadlines
Dear IH students,
I wanted to remind you all of several upcoming Culminating Experience deadlines.
For students working on their Culminating Experience this summer, the final, approved draft is due on August 19 by 5:00pm. If you are working on your CE this summer and do not think you will be able to submit your final draft by this deadline, please let me know ASAP. Directions for the CE are available through the IH Blast CE tab, and also copied here:
When you have completed your CE:
1) Forward your advisor’s approval email to jump@bu.edu or ask them to CC me when sending it to you.
2) Update your CV.
3) Complete a CE Cover Sheet
4) Complete the online Submission of CE Form. You may upload your completed CE with cover sheet and your CV at the end of the online form.
Once I have received all of your documents, I will notify the Registrar of your successful completion and confirm with you by email!
For students intending to do their CE this fall, the first deadlines are fast approaching!
For Option 2 and 3 (Journal Article or Independent Project), your project proposal and CE contract are due September 9th. Option 2 and 3 project proposals should be reviewed and approved by your CE advisor before they are submitted. A committee will then review your project proposal and notify you of any necessary changes.
For Option 1 (Policy Analysis), the problem purpose statement and CE contract are due September 16th.
To start your CE:
1) Complete a CE Completion Contract for the semester. If you started your CE in a previous semester and wish to continue work into the next semester, you will need to re-submit your contract. Contracts must be signed by you and your advisor. If your advisor is unable to sign the contract, you may forward an email indicating their approval to jump@bu.edu.
You may download the appropriate Contract here:

2) Depending on your CE Option, complete either a Problem Purpose Statement or a Project Proposal.
3) Complete the online “Request to Complete CE Form“. You may upload your CE Completion Contract and Problem Purpose Statement/Project Proposal at the end of the online form.
If you have trouble with the online forms, let me know.
I hope you are having a great summer so far, and getting excited for classes this fall! Please be in touch if you have any questions about the CE.
Thanks everyone,
Emily Jump
