Submitting a Project Abstract:

• Submit your Project Abstract to Bronco Scholarworks using the Submission Form.

o If submitting a Project Abstract, please attach a copy of your abstract to the submission form.

o Please note: only students whose committee have approved of submitting only an abstract can do so. This will be verified with the Report of Culminating Experience (RCE). Not submitting properly could delay the signing of the RCE and delay issuance of graduation and degree.
