Your Honors Curriculum Sheet is NOW Updated!

Honors keeps track of your progress in completing your honors requirements on your Curriculum Sheet. You can find your Curriculum Sheet in the folder we shared with you in your OneDrive. Click on Shared in the right sidebar. For first years, the folder is titled with your last name, first name. For everyone else its titled Honors Progress Reports.

Its a good idea to look it over and make sure what we think you completed is what you think you completed. If you have any questions please email honors@calpoly.edu
