Resources
Set Up an Honors Section of a Course
The Section Request process is now built into UAccess (department schedulers use their log in and navigate to the Class Scheduling Homepage). Check out the resources guides for Setting up an Honors Section during Open Scheduling, plus how to process a Section Request - Add or the Section Request - Change to manage sections during Closed Scheduling.
Honors Faculty Liaisons
Most academic departments have designated a faculty member to serve as the Honors Faculty Liaisons for students in their major.
The Honors Faculty Liaison does not generally provide academic advising on degree requirements; rather, this individual provides mentorship and guidance to honors students who are interested in becoming more engaged in their discipline, seeking special research opportunities, or planning for graduate school or careers. Honors Faculty Liaisons can also help students plan for the Honors Thesis and answer questions about research in their areas of interest.
