This Week in Honors
Fullerton College Honors Program
Fall Semester: Week 16     
Finals Week

     

 

Enjoy your well-deserved winter break.  Spring classes start on January 27th.  "This Week in Honors" will not be published during the winter break.  See you in 2014!   

 

If you are leaving, graduating, transferring this semester and won't be returning in spring -- please reply to this newsletter and let me know where you're going so we can update our database.  Thank you!  

UCI Honors Research Conference

 

Students,

 

If you're interested in the opportunity to present your research at an academic conference, please fill out the HTCC Application Form and return it to Jodi Balma by Monday, December 16th:

 

Name, Major, Email, Cell Phone 

 

Send the following by email so it can be submitted electronically:
  • Title of Paper/Poster
  • 25 word description
  • 250 word abstract
  • Faculty Mentor
  • Field of Research
You can either present your research with an individual oral presentation or a research poster (but not
both). If you have multiple research projects, you could present
a poster for one and the oral presentation for the other.

More information about the Honors Transfer Council of California Research Conference:  http://htcca.org/students/ 

 

 

 
Honors Certification
Students need to apply for Honors Certification after they complete at least 15 honors units (with no grade lower than a C) and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 if accepted to the Honors program before 2011 and a GPA of 3.4 if accepted after 2011 in all honors and non-honors sections.  If you are registered for the honors classes that will satisfy these requirements, you can complete the form for certification.  
 
UCLA TAP Certification
UCLA 

If you are or will be Honors Certified by the end of spring 2014 and you applied to transfer to UCLA, you need to fill out the following paperwork and return it to our office in January.   


Please leave blank the UCLA ID # on the Certification Form - we'll fill that in for you from a report UCLA sends us in Jan/Feb.  
 
Walk-in Appointments for Honors Students

Kelly-Mandich
Walk-in Appointments

Every Thursday 

 

If you have not met with the Honors counselor for this semester, be sure to do so because she will help plan out your future semesters at Fullerton College and guide you in the right direction for your specific major. Starting November 18, the Honors counselor, Linda Kelly-Mandich, will be available for walk-in appointments exclusively for Honors Students every Thursday.

 

 
New Honors Student Orientation

If you're new to the Honors Program, please plan on attending one of our New Honors Student Orientations in January or February.

 

Tuesday, January 21st 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. in Room 1420

Friday, February 21st 10:00 - 11:30 a.m. in Room 227

 

We're also encouraging our new honors students to be matched with a peer mentor - one of our Honors Ambassadors - who will meet with you and make sure you're informed and aware of the opportunities available to you as part of the Honors Program.  

 
Honors Spring Schedule

  

HONORS - SPRING 2014

 

Please stop by the Honors Office and pick up your Clearance Form to register for honors classes for spring 2014. You need to take that form to the Counseling Department and be cleared to register for our courses. You don't need an appointment to be cleared.

 

I know students have been having trouble registering for the POSC 180 HF class.  We're hoping to have that issue resolved today.  Keep trying!

UCLA and UCI Library Access

If you were interested in accessing the campus libraries at UCLA and UCI, stop by the office to pick up a form. Depending on the school, you have different access to databases for research papers and other resources, at your disposal. Simply put, with the form, you can head over to the campus and get a library card to use for school assignments.

 
The Honors Program Staff is here to help you.  If you have any questions, please stop by our office in College Center: Room 225 or 714.992.7133.
