Honors Advising

How Honors Students Move Through The Program

Honors Advising

1. The Honors student, the Honors Director, the major advisor are co-responsible for making sure the student is moving through The Program efficiently.  When registering for classes, the Honors student should consult with the Honors Director before their major advisor.
2. This is the sequence in which Honors students must register for their Honors courses.  Honors students and major advisors must take care that the student does not inadvertently register for non-Honors sections of these courses, or other non-Honors core equivalents.  Please note that all Honors courses are denoted by the section "HP".
3. Honors students are not allowed to jump cohorts.
4. Honors students are required to successfully defend an Honors Thesis before the Honors Convocation immediately preceding their anticipated date of graduation.  Under no circumstances should an Honors student begin their Thesis later than the second term of his or her junior year, though it can be started earlier.  Honors students must take account of the curricular demands in their major and take care to register for their Honors Thesis credit units in a timely manner, if they hope to graduate from The Honors Program on time.  Students should promptly consult their major advisor to determine when they should begin working on their thesis.
