Do you have priority registration for Fall 2023?

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 2023.

First round registration for students with Special Exception starts if May 19th!

Attention First Year Honors Students!!! Mandatory First Year Check in!

To ensure you have a plan and are making good progress toward your Honors Requirements, we are requiring all first years to meet with a Student Assistant this quarter. Before meeting with the Student Assistant fill out the 4-Year Check List. You can indicate on the checklist when you plan to complete certain requirements and what you think you will do for your Track and Co-Curriculars. Bring the form with you to your check in and have the Student Assistant sign and collect the form. First years who do not complete a check in this quarter will not receive Special Exception (i.e. priority registration) for Winter 2024. Check ins will be held during Week 5 - Week 9 in the Commons and Nipumu.
