Honors Seminars are one- or two-credit special topic classes offered only to honors students. With enrollment generally limited to 17 students, these seminars promote a crucial atmosphere of intellectual exchange and a high level of student involvement in learning.
All honors students take seminars as part of the requirements to graduate with honors. Each college individually determines the amount and timing of seminar requirements.
Registration
Registering for honors seminars is different than registering for your other classes:
- You register for honors seminars after registering for other courses each semester, and the “start date” for honors seminar registration is the same for all honors members.
- Reference numbers for the seminars will be posted on the honors program website 1-3 days before the seminar registration start date.
- You use Workday to register for a seminar, just as you would for regular courses. The computer tracks all student requests, creating a waiting list for filled seminars. Honors staff will contact those on the waiting list if openings become available.
- To give access to as many honors members as possible, you (a) may register for no more than two seminars per semester and (b) may not attempt to register before the designated start date and time. Students who attempt to register before the start date will be skipped over on the waitlist for the course.
