Meet with a Counselor Quarterly

Our dedicated counseling team is committed to your success and can provide academic counseling, career counseling, and personal counseling. Students in the Honors Institute are required to meet with a counselor during a 30-minute appointment every quarter.

Since many students in the honors program are interested in transfer, we have six designated honors counselors who can help design an education plan that meets major and general education requirements, and honors certification.

After meeting with a counselor, students are required to submit an Honors Student Counseling Report Form each quarter after enrolling in your first honors course.
