UPDATE at 7 AM: The crns originally posted are wrong. The correct ones are listed now below. Also HON 230 02 is NOT full so if you get an error message email me at larsen@ccsu.edu and I will put you into the class.

Honors students:

 Special note - the university will now give honors students a rebate of the overload fee for registering for more than 18 credits. This is a rebate, so you must pay the fee initially. If you want to register for more than 18 credits you have to complete a form from the Registrar's office for permission before you register.

Registration for the Fall 2008 semester approaches.

Remember that you receive a new secondary PIN for each registration period – the one you used to register for this current semester will not work. I will have the PINS for all honors students, but you should try and get it from your major advisor first. Think of me as your last resort. Your PIN should start with the number 8. If it does not, contact me IMMEDIATELY. You MUST consult with an advisor in your major when deciding on courses. I am not qualified to pick your courses in your major. This is especially important for education majors, as certain courses must be completed BEFORE applying to the professional program.

Registration for Honors Students if you use your own computer will begin at either 8 or 8:30 AM on Monday April 7. I will be in my office (Copernicus 606) from about 6:00 until 11 AM. The building officially opens at 7 - I will enter through the side facing Memorial Hall (the door near the elevators) and will send scouts down to open the door for those who arrive before 7. You can also knock until the janitors let you in. The janitors have been alerted to the fact that you will be arriving early and may unlock the Memorial side door early for you.

By now you all know that the system gets overloaded and crashes  so please don’t panic! I am handling problems as I did last semester in an effort to be less swamped. I cannot deal with a flood of instant messages. The system WILL crash. Plan on this. You are strongly urged to come to my office (Copernicus 606) in person and I will register you for your courses if you do not want to wait for the system to stabilize.

Have handy the CRN's of all courses you wish to register for and your ID number. This is NOT advising time - this is registration time. If you need advice on scheduling please see me BEFORE April 7. Note that I cannot print out schedules, so you will have to make other arrangements to have your schedule printed out.

There was a problem with registration numbers for honors classes in past semesters which resulted in the overloading of some sections. To prevent this from happening again, I am enforcing “equal section” rules; i.e., the set limits for each class will be just enough to handle half the number of registering students, thus assuring equal enrollment in each. Spots are first come, first served. If you have a serious conflict issue with a mandatory class in your major I will consider making an exception on a case-by-case basis, but saying “I want the other section because it’s cooler” won’t get you very far. Note: You should plan out two versions of your schedule in case you do not get the honors sections you want.

Here are the classes for the Fall. Students going into the third year of the program need to take HON 440 (Thesis preparation). Students going into the second year of the program need to take both HON 210 (Western Culture II) and HON 230 (World Cultures II).
