Are you trying to figure out what you will do for your Honors Track or Co-Curricular requirements? Come hear from a panel of students who have completed these requirements; what they did and what they learned.
Check out all the Spring Quarter Honors Events!
Do you have priority registration for Fall 2024?
Cal Poly provides Special Exception Registration Status (i.e. Priority Registration) to first- and second-year students who are members in good standing in the Honors Program. Students with Special Exception status may register first according to Cal Poly's registration appointment schedule. See module 2.12 of the Canvas Honors Handbook to learn more about the requirements to be in good standing to receive Special Exception status. If you do not meet the requirements you will not have special exception status for Spring!
NOTE: If you are a 2nd year student you will NOT have Special Exception for Fall. Your last eligibility was for Spring 2024. Unfortunately the Registrar won't allow beyond 2nd year :(
First round registration for students with Special Exception starts if May 20th!
Have you completed a Co-Curricular Experience?
