A Fall 2022 Course Resource Guide:

Fall 2022 Honors Courses:

You can consider taking courses from Honors Tracks: these courses can be started Fall semester (but don’t have to) in different ways depending on your major.

Note: you need to request permission from your advisor or Dr. Paxton to be able to register for any Honors class!

How can I prepare for Course Planning for Fall 2022:

First, you MUST meet with your Honors Advisor. You will make a 4 Year Planner to let you know what courses, beyond LCs, are required by major. Some majors will have no choice in the other 3 courses as the major requirements are already set. However, students will be allowed to choose sections for some classes and other students will have more flexibility in their course choices and Coursicle is a useful tool.

You can plan your schedule using Coursicle. It is a wonderful semester planning tool as it can help you see a weekly snapshot of how your classes fit together. It could help you avoid courses/sections that overlap with each other. You can browse classes/sections and click on the star to add them to your Coursicle planner.

Don’t forget to click Fall 2022 semester so the correct schedule shows up. It can access Cardinal Station and can help you plan specific classes and times to fit into a weekly schedule.


ALL students will be placed in their two Learning Community (LC) courses, which are all held MWF 9-11AM. You will be required to select and register for the remaining courses as per your major/program.


Once you are set on a schedule, please remember to add it into your Cardinal Students Shopping Cart so you can register.
