Honors Program Schedule and Registration Instructions
Honors courses are restricted only to Honors Program students, determined via Jayweb priority enrollment status. If you have any kind of hold (business office, library, etc.,) you are not eligible to participate in priority enrollment until you take care of the hold.
-
Students should self-enroll for all Honors courses not required for a major via the Jayweb system.
-
PRE-ENROLLMENT: Only students whose major REQUIRES a course for which we have an honors section, e.g. HMA 251 Probability and Statistics, may pre-enroll ahead of priority registration.
- If you meet the major criterion to pre-enroll for an honors course, send an email to honors@etown.edu -- not the department assistant nor the professor -- with the following information:
- Your name, ID number, Major, Class Year, The class you need to pre-enroll for and why
- You should receive a confirmation email within one business day that we have received your request, are verifying your major, and are processing it.
-
HOLDS: When we send the pre-enrollment list to Registration and Records, if you have a business, advising, library or other hold, registration and records WILL NOT ADD your name to the class roster. Let us know if you have a hold, but you must solve the hold problem before we can re-submit your name.
