Honors Advising
Each honors student is expected to take responsibility for charting their academic degree and transfer goals in collaboration with both a program advisor and the Honors Faculty Coordinator.
The program advisor for your major will help you develop a degree plan that is specific to your major and transfer institution. Advisors are listed by program of study on the Counselors and Advisors page.
Your program advisor will help you determine how your honors classes will fit into your degree plan. It is important to meet with that person during your first term as an honors student and once a term thereafter to check in and update your degree plan if necessary.
You should also meet once a term with the Honors Faculty Coordinator, Ce Rosenow, to review upcoming course offerings and your honors term-by-term planner.
