Honors College Student Handbook
The Honors College Student Handbook provides students with detailed information about policies and requirements.
Using various means of communication, the Honors Office will do its best to inform you of policies, procedures, postgraduate fellowships, new Honors courses, lectures, cultural events, and just about anything else that will enhance your Honors experience. However, as an Honors student you bear responsibility for understanding program requirements.
The Honors Office cannot be responsible for misinformation about Honors policies and requirements provided by persons not associated with the Honors College.
If you have any questions about the Honors College Student Handbook, please reach out to your Honors Advisor.

I felt accepted and appreciated within the Honors College which helped me to grow academically, personally, socially, and professionally. I am incredibly grateful for my experience in Honors and for the faculty, staff, and peers I’ve gotten to know and learn from.”
