There are a number of advantages that Honors students can anticipate in the Program. These are outlined in paragraph 6. In return, it is expected that Honors participants will exhibit an intellectual curiosity and commitment to academic excellence that distinguishes the motivated student. Honors students will probably assume a leadership and service role on the university campus and in the surrounding community. To fail to do so will bar the student from early registration.
Probationary status continues.
Since the Honors Program encourages travel, study abroad or any of a variety of activities that may temporarily remove a student from the campus, an Honors student may request a leave of absence from the Program. This must, however, be approved, prior to the leave, by the Honors Program Director. The possibilities are virtually unlimited. Because the Honors Program, and the Honors Student Advisory Council in particular want to stress the link between receiving benefits from society, and making a contribution to that society, it has been determined that each continuing Honors student is responsible for two service hours per semester. Accounting of the service hours, and judgments about what constitutes service shall be one of the responsibilities of the Honors Student Advisory Council.
