HELPFUL FORMS AND LINKS

Advising Forms

The following forms will help you identify requirements, track your progress, and map out your plan.

Petition and Withdrawal Forms

We encourage students to pursue their own individual interests and to aim for excellence in all that they do.  To assist you to reach your goals and your full potential we try to be as flexible and accommodating as we can.  If you have good reasons to substitute a course or experience for one of our requirements, especially if you have the support of an advisor or faculty mentor, we encourage you to make a request using our petition form. 

Petition Form

Students in the Honors Program make an extra commitment to academic study and extra-curricular activities, and we realize that even for the most talented and motivated students circumstances can sometimes change enough to prevent such a commitment. You may withdraw any time from Selected Studies or the Honors Program without any penalty or prejudice.  We hope that you will come to see an advisor to talk about your situation and how we might help you to stay in the program.  If you still decide that Honors is really not for you, you must complete a withdrawal form to avoid receiving annoying emails and threatening letters!  It is also helpful to us if you can provide us with some explanation of your decision so that we can better understand and meet the needs of our students.
