GENERAL 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.
What can YOU do to get the most from your advising appointment?
- Prepare for your appointment. Bring a list of the questions you have for the advisor.
- Bring a copy of your STAR advising report with you.
- See your major advisor. He/she will review major-specific requirements, help you determine courses choices most aligned with your interests, and assist in connecting your major with career fields.
- Keep an advising folder in which you put ALL of your advising materials and bring it to every appointment/session.
- Follow up on recommendations your advisor makes.
- Take ownership. Your advisor will be there to support you, but this is YOUR academic journey!
