Honors Guidelines
(see Section M for more detail)
In scheduling Honors courses, the course designators H2 and HC should be added to each class. The Honors Program manager should double-check each term that the class information is correct on PantherNet.
PantherNet Path: ST CU CC MC
For each Honors class make sure that:
- The Honors designators (H2 and HC) are on each Honors class;
- “Honors” (or an abbreviation) is in the title;
- The maximum class size is set at 15; and
- The schedule note reads: “Honors Class: Students must be admitted to the Honors Program to register. To apply, visit www.palmbeachstate.edu/Honors. For more information, email Honors@palmbeachstate.edu or call 561-868-3895.”
A general class query should also be run (ST CU QC QC) to make sure there are no non-Honors classes with Honors designators. In particular, remove the H1 or H3 designators from all classes, as these will erroneously show as Honors classes when a student runs a PantherWeb search for Honors classes. The H3 designator (Honors Project Option) will be placed on the class later to facilitate students who are doing projects; however, it does not need to be on the course during the registration period. The H1 and W2 designators are defunct and no longer in use.
