Academic Advising

Individual advising is a benefit of membership in the Lewis Honors College. Honors advisors support the intellectual and personal development of Honors students through both individual advising appointments and group programming. Advisors foster student success through personalized academic planning that helps students make the most of their Lewis Honors College experience.

Students should schedule both major and Honors advising meetings well in advance of priority registration. Advising Holds are lifted by primary/major academic advisors upon completion of the major advising meeting. Honors advisors reserve the right to issue an Honors Progression Hold if a student has not completed the Honors Plan by the conclusion of the second year.  

Honors students should adhere to the following appointments:  

• First-Year: both fall and spring semesters  
• Second-Year: at least once to complete the Honors Plan  
• Third- and Fourth-Year: at least once each year to discuss Honors progress and Thesis completion  

As a result of participation in Honors Academic Advising, students will be able to:  

• Understand the Honors curriculum
• Identify opportunities for credit-bearing experiential learning opportunities
• Develop a plan for completing the Honors curriculum and thesis alongside major requirements
• Articulate how selected Honors courses contribute to their academic and professional goals
