Honors students receive the benefit of priority registration. Course registration times are assigned based on the number of credits students have completed.
To give Honors students priority, fifteen "ghost" credits are temporarily added to the number of credits Honors students have already completed. This helps students register as if they have completed an extra semester of credits. Ghost credits are added after a student's first semester in the Honors program. 
Note: Priority registration does not change students' position on a course wait list, nor does it guarantee an Honors student will have a seat in a non-Honors course.

Students are expected to register themselves for all Honors courses.

Challenge Course and Honors Supplements have additional steps before studnets can register. Those steps can be found under the course titles below.

 

The AU Honors Challenge Course (HNRS-398) is a 3-credit group research project for AU Honors students. The Honors Challenge Course is meant to enable a student-led, multi-disciplinary effort to grapple with a significant problem or issue by drawing on more than one tradition of inquiry. The course functions much like an independent study in that each group will meet with a faculty mentor and the course has no centrally scheduled class meeting time or location

How to Register:

1. Form a group and find a faculty mentor
2. Complete the Group Registration Form.
3. Honors Staff will register each group for their own section of HNRS-398.

Honors Course Supplements add an Honors component to a regular 300 or 400 level course in the form of an extra project, paper, presentation, or other work to make it count for the Honors Colloquium requirement.

Supplements do not change the credit value of the course. They will appear on Eagle Service as HRNS-050.

How to register:

1. Register for a regular 300 or 400 level course.
2. Discuss the Honors Supplement with the registered faculty member for the course.
3. Submit the Honors Supplement Qualtrics Form.
