Benefits, Institutional Privileges

Priority Registration

Students who are currently taking an Honors course, and intend to register for an Honors course the following semester, are granted priority registration. They are able to register before all other undergraduate students.

Dedicated Academic Advisors

Students who are admitted to the Honors Program are assigned to Academic Advisors who specialize in Honors students. These academic advisors have a keen awareness of the Honors Program and issues facing Honors students.

Small Classes

Honors courses enjoy small class sizes. Typically, there are twelve or fewer students in an Honors course. This guarantees students a much higher rate of in-class interaction with the professor and other students than in larger classes. The Honors Program offers multiple sections of popular courses to ensure the course is available for everyone.

Graduation

Students who satisfy the requirements for graduating with Honors are given increased recognition at Graduation. Honors students will wear Royal Blue robes during graduation. For Capstone Students, the Provost will share the students' research he/she completed for the capstone with those in attendance. All Honors graduates, and their families, are invited to breakfast with the Provost the morning of Graduation.
