Please note the following:

  • Nursing students can take the COR requirement or Capstone at any point in the senior year.
  • Students enrolled in the College Honors Program are allowed to take (18) credits per semester with no monetary penalty. Since AP or high school dual enrolled college courses are not accepted in lieu of Honors Program curriculum courses, but are accepted in lieu of other General Education requirements, this benefit, along with AP or high school dual enrolled college courses puts the student in a position to pursue a minor and, in some cases, an additional major.
  • It is extremely important that all students remain within their cohort unless the Director of the Honors Program grants permission to do otherwise. Students not enrolled in any Honors Program course may have to forfeit the 18 credit tuition benefit for that semester.
