Honors Classes

Any student who meets the eligibility requirements for the Honors Academy may ask permission to register for an Honors class, whether or not he or she has actually been accepted into the Honors Academy. In order to register for an Honors class, a student must send an e-mail to the Academic Director, Douglas Branch, identify the class or classes for which he or she wishes to register, and register online after receiving permission. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain permission to enroll for an Honors class early, as these classes often fill up quickly.

A listing of the Honors offerings will be posted in Honors Offices and included in the online course-offering list each term. HONR 1110 (Honors Inquiry) is listed online under "Honors," and other classes, such as English, music, or psychology courses, are listed by discipline.
