Academic Advising

Honors Advising

Academic advising is available to all Core and Disciplinary Honors students throughout the academic year, and we welcome conversations of all kinds -- come with a specific question or just to say hello.

Advising in the University Honors Program is a collaborative process. Many logistical questions — e.g., how to withdraw from a course, how many credits a minor requires, how many credits must be taken in residence — can be answered with a quick Web search or on this university reference page. Note, too, that if you are an Honors student in a college other than Arts and Sciences, or if you have already declared a major in Arts and Sciences, you have a primary adviser in that college or department whom you are usually required to consult before class registration. You can check who your advisor is in Checkmarq by clicking into the "Manage Classes" section then clicking on "Advisors" in the lower lefthand corner.

Spring 2023 Procedures:

Standard advising appointments are 15 minutes. If your concern is complex and you think it will require more time, email the advisor you intend to book an appointment with directly. Include the subject you’d like to discuss, and a double appointment will be booked for you.

Appointments are held both in-person and virtually. In-person appointments are in the Honors Office in Sensenbrenner 002; virtual appointments are by Teams.  Please ensure you are scheduling for your preferred meeting format via the schedule below.

If you sign up for an appointment but then find you can't make it, please be courteous and cancel your appointment online.
