Important Note About Honors Cross-Listed Courses!!

If you are planning to take an Honors GE this year use the Tentative Course Offerings link on the Honors website to see what Honors courses will be offered. Just because you see a course on your Degree Planner does NOT mean the course will be offered. The Tentative Course offerings list is the most up to date information on what will be offered. Although Honors officially has a lot of cross-listed GEs, many will not offered.

REMEMBER! The only way to get credit for an honors course is if you register under HNRS. Just because a course is cross-listed does NOT mean it is an honors section. Honors sections are only honors sections if you can enroll under HNRS. Otherwise it is NOT an honors section and you will not get honors credit for the course.

Temporary Spaces for Honors....

Until we have our assigned Honors Commons here is what we have arranged so far for Fall quarter:

Building 197 (Bonderson), Room 104 every Wednesday from 3-6pm reserved for Honors students. This will be open to any Honors student who needs space to study, work on group projects, or just hang out.
You can still access the Honors copier in Building 116 (Jesperson), Room 212. The copier is connected to computers for anyone who needs to print. There is space to work if you need a quiet spot (see pic below)
Jenni's office is Building 116, Room 212 (with the copier!)
Dr. J's temporary office is Building 47, room 23F
