HONORS continued from page 1
said Dean Peter Sederberg, of the Honors College.
It is expected, when students come for honors advisement,
that they will have a general idea of what
classes they plan to take. To facilitate the process, a
list and description of available honors classes was
distributed to students as soon as it came off the master
computer.
Sederberg said all schedules lor next semester were
due in the Registrar's Office Sept. 15. The Honors College
then pulled the preliminary schedule off the computer
as soon as it was available.
So, SCHC students are able to go to the college and
look at the preliminary master schedule before being
advised in their honors classes.
"Students are able to get a jump, and can figure
out their schedules long before other students think
about it," Sederberg said. "SCHC students have access
to [scheduling! information long before other students."
Many honor students agreed that the early advisement
period is an advantage. They also don't have
a problem with going to the College to see what regular
classes will be offered.
"It's one of the nice perks," said sophomore Rebecca
Ostheimer. "You are able to set your goals earlier

and know what classes are coming up next semester."
Other SCHC students felt that the advisement
needs to be so early in the semester so they can meet
with both advisors.
Junior Sean Hard wick said the advisement periods
needs to be earlier so you can determine what honors
classes along with regular classes to take.
There are however, students who find it difficult
to be advised in resDect to honors classes without hav
ing the ability to sit and study the master schedule at
their leisure before being advised.
Sophomore Emily Free dislikes being advised so
early in the semester. She said she'd prefer to set down
with a master schedule and plan out her classes, before
making any advisement decisions.
To deal with the advantages and disadvantages of
the honors advisement system, numerous adaptions
occurred. Several academic major advisors allow honors
students to be advised earlier than other students.
Honors College students who are business majors
have the option of being advised early in their major.
The decision about whether to see honors students
early is left up to the individual academic majors, and
varies from department to department.
Another way the SCHC deal with such an early

advisement period is by establishing a "Shopping Day."
On this day, which occurs after TIPS registration, students
have another chance to get into honors classes
that may have been previously closed.
Sederberg said that "shopping day" is a way of compensating
for students originally selecting honors class
es and then changing their minds without notilying
the college, thereby locking other students out of the
class.
Besides "shopping day" the entire advisement
process is structured so that older students have the
least time to prepare for advisement.
"The greatest burden falls on those who are experienced
and savvy about the university. These students
don't need a lot of direction," said Sederberg.
"Most seniors and juniors come in with the honors
courses they need already identified."
Freshman are the last honors students to be advised,
and they are the ones who need the most time
to plan out coursework. Students just starting in the
college are also the ones who have the most decisions
to make concerning what classes to take.
As Sederberg said, the honors advisement process
isn't perfect, but it's a sign that the college is advising
more effectively as compared with several years ago.
