If you need a permission number please email both honors@calpoly.edu AND rhastin@calpoly.edu. You do not need a permission number for an Honors Seminar (i.e. HNRS 299) or any cross-listed HNRS courses. But you do need a permission number for:
 
HNRC 200-02 or 03 (i.e. Leadership or Teaching Co-curriculars)
HNRS 361 (i.e. Track)

IMPORTANT! If you are planning to graduate in Fall 2025, please plan to take HNRS 461 in SP25!!! We do not offer HNRS 461 in Fall.

Attention First Years!! Mandatory Check In by End Spring Quarter!!

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 Peer Advisor by the end of Spring quarter 2025. Before meeting with the Peer Advisor 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 Peer Advisor sign and collect the form. First years who do not complete a check by end of Spring 25 quarter will not receive priority registration in WN26.

Save the Date! Spring Graduate Celebration on June 4th!

Graduating Seniors we want to celebrate with you! Our Annual Graduation Celebration will be held on Wednesday June 4th, 5:00-7:00pm in the ATL on campus. Appetizers and beverages will be served. All graduating seniors (includes seniors graduating Winter25/Fall 25) and their family and friends are invited to attend! We will provide more details of the event in the next few weeks!
