Get Advised!

Advisement Day is coming up on Tuesday, October 20.  Here are a few important things to keep in mind as you are thinking about your Spring 2027 schedule.

Honors Advisement Plan

On Thursday you should have received an email from Xanthi with details about completing your Honors Advisement Plan (HAP).  This is something we are asking everyone to complete.  You can also find details about this on Canvas. 

Xanthi is an amazing resource for you, so make sure you get your Honors Advisement Plan submitted by the deadline in order to receive feedback before you register on Oct 26th
 

Honors Advisement Day Meetings

Honors will be hosting two advisement meetings on Advisement Day, Tuesday, October 20. Both meetings will take place in the MSC, Ballrooms.
  • 3:30-4:15pm - First Year Students (open to upperclassmen as well) - We will provide information about registering for classes using Stellic, reminders of honors requirements, upcoming Honors Opportunities, and answer any questions you might have.
  • 4:30-5:00pm - Graduating Seniors (FA26 & SP27) Others welcome to attend as well. - we will be providing information about Honors graduation (finishing up your requirements, applying for graduation, Bestow the Stole, etc) and how to leverage your Honors experience after graduation.

Join us for one of these meetings to ask questions you might have or reach out directly to one of the Honors staff and we would be happy to help.

Reminder: There are no classes on Advisement Day!

More information about the study abroad component can be found on the program overview page which will outline the itinerary as well as the costs.
