Faculty are not able to give students overrides into Honors courses. Instead, redirect Honors students to their Honors advisor to get further help with course registration. Honors students seeking a seat in a full course can use the course overrides for Honors students form to submit an appeal.
Have a talented non-Honors student? Send them to our course overrides for non-Honors students form to request an Honors course.
If a student is regularly missing class or struggling in your course, please reach out to the schedule and curriculum coordinator for guidance. We can alert the student’s Honors advisor and help connect the student with university resources to get them back on track.
Honors strategically reserves seats for its incoming first-year class each spring. If your course’s overall seat cap seems lower than usual in the spring, then it is likely because there are seats on reserve for this purpose. Any questions or concerns about classroom or seat issues in Honors courses can be directed to the schedule and curriculum coordinator.
