NEW! Honors Program Events Calendar

We have added to the Honors website in the top navigation bar a link to Honors Events. Check out what's coming up this Winter quarter! Here's our first event.....

Are you graduating in WN, SP, or FA 2023?

Since Cal Poly will no longer be hosting a Fall Commencement, we are working to include Fall 2023 grads in our Honors Program Graduation event during the end of Spring Quarter 2023. Please fill out the following survey if you are graduating during Winter, Spring, or Fall Quarter 2023. The deadline to fill out the form is February 5, 2023. Thanks! We will look forward to celebrating you!

Do you have priority registration for Spring 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!

First round registration for students with Special Exception starts if February 15!

Honors Progress Reports COMING SOON!
