Welcome to Honors Advising!
 

The Honors Program delivers advising that moves with you as you navigate the University and the Honors program. When you receive advising from Honors, you can expect:

• Assistance with understanding University and Honors requirements
• Registration assistance, including priority access to Honors courses each semester
• Support with clarifying your goals
• Accurate information about programs, services, and available resources
• Appropriate referrals as needed
• Challenge and support as you develop an academic and personal plan
• Illustration of how Honors fits into your plan
• Friendly, available advisors who will cheer you on in your journey towards excellence!
   

As an Honors student, you are expected to engage in advising every semester. A hold will be placed on your registration; once you have attended your advising appointment, the hold will be removed. Please note: if you are not on a traditional Fall to Spring academic calendar, we will work with you to ensure that you receive relevant advising in a timely manner.
