Benefits

There are many benefits to participation in the Honors Program:

• Students assume leadership roles as representatives on the Honors Board or Student Honors Board to directly shape Honors programming.
• Students may register during the first day of priority registration along with senior-year students.
• Students may register for a total of 6 units of overload without an additional fee while enrolled at Dominican. This means that a student may register for over 18 units (up to a maximum of 22 units) in one semester. To be eligible for this benefit, the student should have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. First-year and first semester honors students are also not permitted to enroll in overload units.
• The ceiling of independent study units is waived.
• Juniors and seniors may take graduate courses (with instructor permission).
• The Honors Room in the Alemany Library provides additional quiet space for students to work on projects or study.
