Forms
All Honors College students MUST register for either HON 222 or HON 322 each semester.
Students should NEVER register for both HON 222 and HON 322 in the same term; any student choosing to work on the Capstone and another activity during a single semester should be registered for HON 322 only.
All Honors College students must submit an agreement form that describes their honors activity, whether you are taking an HON course, doing research or a service project, or working on your capstone.
Submit online your Honors Activity Agreement Form or Honors College Capstone Agreement/Update Form. These forms are available in the Honors Activity Reporting System (HARS) on our website. Once you have submitted the online form, it will be routed to your activity supervisor and your fellow, if necessary, for approval.
If you need assistance in selecting an appropriate honors activity, please come in to see your Honors College advisor. You can schedule an appointment, or check their drop-in hours through iAdvise.
