Honors College Priority Registration Progression Standards


Priority registration is provided to allow students to meet the academic requirements of their major while also fulfilling unique scheduling demands associated with graduating with Honors College distinction.  It is intended only for students who are committed to pursuing the complete Honors College curriculum.

Each semester, the Honors College Dean’s office conducts an audit of students to determine their eligibility for early registration.  Eligibility will be based on the following progression standards:

Students must have an up to date continuing enrollment form on file in order to be eligible for early registration.  These should be filed with the Honors College Dean’s office upon students’ initial indication of their intent to graduate with Honors College distinction, and should be updated if/when students change majors, add minors, or make other significant revisions to their academic plans.
