Honors Advising

Honors Advising Handout

KSU Journey Honors College offers one-on-one and groups advising to our students. One-on-one Honors advisement is available in fall, spring, and summer semesters. Honors advisors and faculty work in partnership with Honors students to customize Honors Learning Experiences to align with your interests and future aspirations.

KSU Journey Honors College advisors can offer guidance related to Honors requirements; we do not replace your primary major advisor for tracking your academic advancement. Rather, Honors advisors work in collaboration with your major advisor by helping identify Honors Learning Experiences within your major that capitalize upon developing your skills, exploring your interests, and preparing for your future goals. Participation in Honors advising is mandatory to remain in good standing with the program. Honors students are required to meet with their Honors advisor at least once each semester to ensure they remain on track to complete all Honors requirements.

The Honors advising guidelines below are designed for students who begin the Honors Program as first-semester, first-year students. If you join the program after you have already earned between 15 and 45 hours of college credit, you should plan to complete more than one Honors requirement per semester until you get caught up. Meet with an Honors advisor to develop a plan.

As you refer to the guidelines, keep in mind that you will need to look ahead a semester. For example, a second semester sophomore should read the guidelines for junior year.

***The Honors Office (HO) hold is placed on the accounts of currently active members of the University Honors Program to ensure that students meet with an Honors advisor to select the correct Honors courses. The Honors advising hold will be removed after the student has met with an Honors advisor.
