Advising Student Theses

All honors theses written by Williams undergraduates are treated as holdings of the Williams College Libraries.  Faculty advising student honors theses should review the College's theses guidelines and share this information with their students.   Faculty should be aware of regulations and procedures, including format and title page guidelines, student/faculty release form requirements, and deposit deadlines. 

Please note: the faculty advisor is required to sign the release form, which specifies the administration of literary property rights (copyright), access, and reproduction of the thesis.

Theses are displayed in Sawyer Library or Schow Science Library, by discipline, during Commencement and Reunion Weekends, except in cases where students do no wish their thesis to be included.
