You must attend an honors thesis orientation session to get the information you need to begin thesis in Fall 2022.

Honors thesis orientation sessions will be Tuesday, March 22 and Wednesday, March 23 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. in University 233. Choose one of these dates to attend.

You are not beginning your honors thesis in Fall 2022, but you are finished with all of your honors coursework besides thesis:
You don’t need honors advising for Fall 2022. If you have questions about whether you are finished with your honors coursework before thesis, please email Katie.

If you are unsure about when you should start your honors thesis, please bring that up with your major advisor during your advising session this spring. The easiest way to start that conversation is to have a plan in place for what classes you plan to take for your remaining semesters. Let Katie know if you need help creating a plan.

If your DegreeWorks says, “6 hours needed,” and then “6 hours needed in HON 420,” those are the same 6 hours. You are more than likely finished with your honors coursework before thesis.

You are currently in your first semester of HON 420, need to register for your second semester of HON 420 in Fall 2022, and are finished with the rest of your honors coursework:
You don’t need honors advising for Fall 2022. Please check This Week in Honors for specific information on how to register for your second semester of HON 420 after the schedule book is released.

Honors Course Number Change Information

If your first choice of an honors course is cross-listed with other honors course numbers, you can try to register for one of the other cross-listed CRNs to try to get a seat in the course. Then, you must submit a Course Number Change Form to have the course count in the correct honors course number for the gen-ed element you need.

  • Example: You want to take Learning in Place as an HON 320W to count as Element 6: Diversity. When you go to register for the HON 320W CRN, you get a capacity error, meaning the HON 320W CRN is full. You can register for the HON 308W CRN to get a seat in the course, but you must submit the Course Number Change Form to get Learning in Place changed from an HON 308W to an HON 320W that will count in Element 6: Diversity.

The Course Number Change Form for Fall 2022 honors courses is available online. You need to be logged in with your EKU credentials to access the form. The priority deadline for course number changes is Monday, April 18, 2022. The absolute final deadline for course number changes is 8 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, August 16, 2022.

Honors Course Override Request Information

Overrides are typically not granted for honors courses because we believe very strongly in keeping our courses small, and our classrooms simply don’t hold a large number of students. If you have a compelling reason to request an override, please complete the form linked below after reviewing this information.

Please do not request overrides from specific honors professors; all requests must be made through the honors office.

Remember, overrides are to get into a class that is closed. Overload requests are to take more than 18 credit hours per semester. The honors office does not grant overload requests; you must request these from your major advisor/department. Look for a link on your department’s website to request an override/overload.

Honors Course Override Request Form

The priority deadline for Fall 2022 override requests is Thursday, April 14, 2022 (1 week after priority registration). Honors staff will review all override requests submitted by this deadline beginning Friday, April 15, with a goal of giving you a response before finals week.

All other override requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as time allows.

Need to Change or Add a Major, Minor or Concentration?

Contact the department of the major, minor or concentration you are interested in. Email Katie if you need help finding out who to contact.

(back to top)

Want to Register for More than 18 Hours?

Request an overload from your major or academic college – Honors cannot grant overloads. Look for an “override request form” on your major department’s website and choose the “overload” option. Email Katie if you can’t find that form for your department.
