The Role of Honors Advisors
Honors Advisors in the major
are best
placed to advise students for requirements in both their field of study
and the Honors College. Accordingly, Honors advisors are also often the most effective advocates for Honors students and for robust curricular options in their colleges, schools, divisions, and departments.
To facilitate this, Honors advisors should know:
- The basic structure of the Honors curriculum. You can learn more by referring to:
- a quick reference sheet for students admitted to Honors in Fall 2016 or earlier
- The Student Handbook for students admitted to Honors in Fall 2016 or earlier
- The “Academics” section of our Current Students pages
- Information about the Honors Foundations Program for students admitted to Honors in Fall 2017 or later
- How Honors Students can earn Honors credit
- What options are available in your major for the Honors thesis/ senior project
- Where honors students can find Honors forms online
- How successful students in your major have navigated honors requirements
- What opportunities are available through the Honors College
