Your Honors advising team is ready to meet with you about your Honors journey! Honors students receive major academic advising through their major advisors, and also receive additional support through their Honors advisors. Students can meet with their assigned Honors advisor for assistance in completing Honors graduation requirements, integrating Honors requirements into their degree plans, tracking their progress through the program, connecting with research and engagement opportunities, exploring diverse academic interests, and preparing for life beyond CSU. The Honors advising team cannot advise you on academic coursework requirements for your degree program.

FAQ

Honors advisors can only give overrides for courses with an HONR prefix, even if they are Honors sections of departmental classes. Overrides into Honors courses are only given in specific circumstances. Contact your Honors advisor to discuss your situation. Please waitlist a course if it is full and you are interested in taking it before reaching out for an override.

No, students typically only take one seminar per year in their sophomore, junior, and senior years if they are in Track 1. Please see the Honors curriculum requirements.

You will need to maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA after each academic year (assessed after Spring semester grades). There is an appeals process if your GPA is below this requirement. Please reach out to your Honors advisor for more information. All students who successfully complete the program with a 3.0 GPA are considered as Honors graduates.  Those with a 3.5 cumulative GPA earn a Honors designation on their diploma and official transcript. 

Honors advisors cannot give out advising codes, it must come from your major advisor. Please make an appointment with your major advisor well in advance of your priority registration date if you need an advising code.
