Capstone Project Proposal Form

Capstone Project Proposal Form

Fill in, print, obtain your advisor's signature, and submit to John Zbikowski (3037 Winther Hall).

Deadline: Signed, approved Capstone Proposals should be received by the coordinator by the Friday before the start of the last full term prior to the semester of enrollment in EDUINDP 789 Capstone Seminar.

Examples:

To find out the start dates of terms, see the Registrar's Calendar Page.

You or your advisor may forward the signed proposal to
John Zbikowski,
Department of Curriculum and Instruction,
via campus mail. Confirmation will be sent to you.

Electronic signatures are also acceptable. Advisors can indicate their approval of proposals in email messages sent directly to zbikowsj@uww.edu by the deadline, preferably with electronic copies of the proposals attached.

Note that submitting the proposal does not constitute registration for the seminar. You may register for the Capstone Seminar (EDUINDP 789) in the earliest semester for which you are eligible OR in any later semester without updating your proposal. You will need your advisor's approval for your proposal, and you should notify your advisor when you register for the Capstone Seminar (EDUINDP 789). When your approved proposal is on file, contact the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at 262-472-1122 or msepd@uww.edu when you are ready to enroll so that you will be able to register for the seminar on WINS.

At the start of the Capstone Seminar, you should have ready in draft form an introduction to your project (purpose and nature of the project), a review of related literature, and a description of how you implemented the project. Students who have completed EDUINDP 724, Planning for Change, and EDUINDP 727, Capstone Advising II, should also have drafted chapters with results and conclusions.

When you register for the Capstone Seminar, it would be a good idea to submit an application for graduation. You need to notify the School of Graduate Studies of your intention to graduate using this form even if you do not plan to participate in commencement ceremonies. Your notification alerts the Graduate School to conduct a final review of your transcript and to post your degree when you finish.
