Currently, the Mediated Submissions team are working remotely. We do not expect this to have any significant effects on our services. We will be able to serve you better if you send email to IRManager@uflib.ufl.edu with as much detail as you can provide about your question or concern. Phone calls will go to voicemail, but we are able to receive them promptly via our Inboxes and will respond as soon as we can.
The Institutional Repository at UF (the IR@UF) includes the Undergraduate Honors Theses collection. During their graduating term*, Honors students are invited to submit their their final Honors project for inclusion in this collection. After students who have completed their submission graduate with Honors, the Libraries will add their works to the IR@UF and email a permanent link to them that they can include in applications, résumés, social media, or share with friends, colleagues, and family.
Honors degree requirements vary by department, so be sure to check with your advisor and/or undergraduate coordinator to see whether your department requires you to submit your thesis or other project to the IR@UF.
*Students in the Medical Honors Program complete their theses during their third undergraduate year because they start their first year of medical school during their last year as undergraduates.
Be sure to talk to your thesis or project advisor and/or your department's Honors coordinator about department-specific guidelines. Departments can set their own deadlines for Libraries submissions and we provide them with a list of successful submissions after the department's deadline passes.
Important: If your department requires you to defend your thesis or project, your Libraries submission deadline might be different. Please contact your faculty advisor or Honors coordinator if you do not already know your department's deadline for Libraries submissions.
Department: Deadlines to submit your Honors thesis/project to your department might affect your graduation.
Libraries: Deadlines to submit to the Libraries will not affect your graduation unless your department requires a completed Libraries submission.

Thesis or project file(s):
If necessary, a signed letter (or letters) of permission to quote or reproduce copyrighted material for all copyrighted material included beyond fair use (e.g. large portions of information or data where someone else holds the copyright). If you cannot get the answer you need from the copyright guide, you can email your question(s) to copyright@uflib.ufl.edu.
Please do not submit your Honors thesis or project until you have final approval of your work from your department.
Write to us at MediatedSubmissions@uflib.ufl.edu if you have any questions while you are preparing your Honors submission to the Libraries.
Note: If you see an Honors level that seems wrong to you, or no Honors level at all, please do not be concerned. The form uses the Honors pre-certification data. Not all colleges/schools enter that data and the final Honors level is occasionally different from what colleges enter for pre-certification.
Be sure to talk to your thesis or project advisor and/or undergrad coordinator about department-specific requirements.
