One
of our greatest challenges is making available to all
NC State student advisors information about our program
and its requirements, the innovations we’ve introduced,
and the opportunities available. In addition to the General
Information sites and our Student Handbooks, important
information that will make your advising job a bit easier
includes the following:
What
we require of our students
The
UHP changed its requirements beginning in the Fall 2003
semester. This has created two distinct categories of
UHP students, each with distinct requirements
- Those
who entered the UHP prior to Fall 2003
- Those
who entered the UHP in the Fall 2003 and after
Please
make sure you know in which group your advisee belongs.
See
the summary of requirements for each group on the Program
Expectations page. For further details, refer to
the handbook specific to the
group to which the student belongs.
Common
problems
| Continuous
honors registration |
| |
Pre-fall
2003 students must be registered in an HON course
or H-section or file an honors contract each semester
until program requirements are completed. If such
enrollment is not possible, the student needs to
visit his/her honors adviser to obtain a waiver
of this requirement.
Fall
2003 and beyond students should register for an
HON seminar each semester until they complete their
seminar requirements. If such enrollment is not
possible, the student needs to visit his/her honors
adviser to obtain a waiver of this requirement.

| HON
296 & 297 (36x & 37x) Honors Seminars in
Science, Technology, and Society |
| |
This
presents an ongoing problem for our students. Please
help them to understand that their degree program
will require them to satisfy the Science, Technology,
and Society GER with a course having a perspective
from outside their curriculum, e.g., an engineering
student must take a 296 (or 36x) seminar to satisfy
this requirement. The STS requirement is satisfying
an Humanities GER for an engineering student, hence
the reason the HSS perspective for the STS is required. |
Honors
Seminars
Please
visit our Seminars section
to find information about our HON seminars. You may also
want to visit our page on Proposing
an Honors (HON) Seminar to find out more about creating
your own Honors seminar.
Honors
(H) Sections of Regular Courses
Individual
faculty members and departments provide H sections of
regular courses to students campus wide. We do want to
remind you that all NC State students also have the opportunity
to initiate Honors (H) contracts with instructors, and
faculty members have the opportunity to initiate Honors
(H) contracts with students. Our Honors
Contracts page contains guidelines and forms.
Special
Opportunities
Please
visit out new Campus Partnerships page
for an overview of special opportunities available to
UHP students. Created to enhance our students’ academic
experience at NC State, these programs, courses, and
travel experiences are designed to dovetail into their
programs of study. We encourage our students to discuss
incorporating one or more opportunity into their Plans
of Study.
