Q: I am a member of the Honors Program, but I can’t seem to add this Honors course to my schedule. What’s the deal?
A: Honors courses are restricted. You can only be granted permission to add an Honors course if you see one of the Honors academic counselors.

You might also consider any of the following: Is your student account current with the Bursar's Office? If not, they can place a hold on your account. Make sure to pay all of your parking fees, or the Parking Office will place a hold on your account, as well. Have you been advised (if you have fewer than 24 hours)? If you haven't, there will be an advising hold on your account that ONLY a counselor can lift. Please make sure to check each of these before phoning with problems.

Q: This Honors course that I want to take is listed as open, but I was told the class was full. How is this possible?
A: Permission to add an Honors course is on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a class has been filled, a waiting list is created that contains the names and contact info for interested students. If an opening in the course arises, students are contacted in the order they appear on the waiting list and given up to 48 hours to add the course to their schedules. If they decline the spot, or do not respond within the 48 hour period, the next student on the waiting list is contacted.

Q: Do I need to be a member of the Honors Program to take an Honors course?
A: In order to be considered eligible to taken an Honors course, a student needs only to have a G.P.A. at the University of Louisville of 3.35 or higher.

Q: I was given a course number during my advising appointment, but when I try to register with it, I can't get into the class. What is wrong?
A: The information on section and course numbers is provided to us very early on. During the course of the semester, and up until registration begins, changes may be made to the information provided to us. If in doubt, be sure to double check the on-line schedule of courses as it reflects the most recent information on each course.
