College Departmental Honors Thesis Inquiry Form

Streamline Your Honors Thesis Program with Paperform

Managing honors thesis inquiries and advisor matching can be a complex administrative challenge for college departments. Our College Departmental Honors Thesis Inquiry Form template provides a professional, comprehensive solution for capturing student interest, understanding research proposals, and facilitating the advisor matching process—all in one streamlined form.

Built for Academic Excellence

This template is designed specifically for academic departments managing honors programs, thesis committees, and undergraduate research initiatives. Students can submit detailed thesis proposals including their research interests, proposed timelines, methodological approaches, and publication aspirations, while faculty coordinators receive organized, actionable submissions that make advisor matching and program planning significantly easier.

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can customize the form based on student responses—showing different questions for empirical versus theoretical research, adjusting timeline requirements by department, or requesting additional materials based on the complexity of proposed topics. The doc-style editor makes it easy to add your department's specific requirements, formatting guidelines, and any institutional branding.

Automate Your Academic Workflows

Beyond collecting thesis proposals, you can connect this form to your broader academic workflow using Stepper (stepper.io). Automatically route submissions to relevant faculty advisors based on research interests, send confirmation emails with next steps, update your department's research tracking system, or trigger calendar invites for preliminary consultations—all without manual intervention.

For departments managing multiple programs or institutions with several campuses, Paperform's Agency+ features let you maintain consistent standards while customizing forms for different departments, majors, or research focus areas. Everything stays organized under one roof with proper permissions and oversight.
