APP Information for Students
Submitting an APP
Consult with your departmental Honors adviser in person before submitting your Academic Progress Plan. Be sure to submit your APP to the same adviser with whom you consulted.
APP Review
After you submit your APP, it is reviewed by the Honors College staff. That review will have one of the outcomes listed below.
Approved: All program proposals are acceptable and all proposals for nonstandard components have been validated. Be sure that you keep hard copies of all your approved APPs for future reference.
Approved Conditionally: Some of your course proposals need to be rethought and your plans need to be revised. The conditions are recorded on the form and you will need to take the appropriate steps to have the conditions removed by selecting different courses, taking more Honors work, taking Honors work in other areas, etc. You will need to confer with an Honors College staff adviser, and most likely with your departmental Honors adviser, about the necessary changes.
Not Approved: Your proposed program is not consistent with continued membership in the Honors College (or with graduation as an Honors College member). If you wish to retain your membership, you will need to meet with an Honors College staff adviser and your departmental Honors adviser to prepare a new program plan.
Term-by-Term GPA Review: All program proposals are approved and all proposals for nonstandard components have been validated. Your membership status will be reviewed on a term-by-term basis while your cumulative GPA is below 3.2.
In all of these cases, the Honors College staff will review your APP as soon as possible so that you have time to make any necessary adjustments in your schedule.
Changes to an APP
As your interests or plans change, you may have to alter your APP. If so, consult with your Honors advisers, both in your major and from the Honors College staff, about the necessary changes, obtain approval before implementing the changes, and make sure that your APP is updated by following the instructions for editing a submitted APP form.
Your Graduation Year APP
The course selections which you project for your final year must be carefully checked and rechecked. Be sure to review with your departmental Honors adviser all graduation requirements in your major. Check with an Honors College staff adviser to confirm the number of Honors courses you still need and the status of your general education selections. You and you alone are responsible for assuring that you have enough credits to graduate.
