Honors on Facebook

Hi Honors community,

We have noticed changes in Facebook that impact the frequency of our posts.  Basically, Facebook made it impossible for us to reach  each person who ‘likes’ our page unless we pay them extra money to “promote” a post.  We think this is terrible, because here in Honors we would rather devote our resources to supporting and promoting our students, not to paying Facebook to reach you.

In response to complaints from non-profit organizations, Facebook developed a welcome feature to help overcome this without cluttering up your news feed.  Here’s how you can be alerted any time we post something to our page:

(1) Head over to our Facebook page (facebook.com/rcuhp)

(2) Hover (don’t click) over the “Liked” button on the right (just under our cover picture)

(3) Select “Get Notifications” to just be notified when there is a post from us.

(4) OR Select “Show in News Feed” to make sure our posts show up in your feed.

We send out a lot of good and useful information, some of it very important, and we don’t want you to miss it!

Of course, to avoid these problems altogether, you can join us on Facebook @SUHonors where our tweets will never hide from you!

 

Spring 2013 Registration Notes!

"Register" iconSpring 2013 Honors courses are online!  Take a look and start making your plans.

Honors students in good standing will register the morning of Monday, November 12.  However, if you will have senior standing after this semester (84 credits or more), you will have a standard senior registration access time (before the 12th).  There is no “early” Honors registration for students with senior standing!  You will have an access time on one of the three senior days.

Remember that your academic advisor needs to remove your advising hold before you can access MySlice to register, so be sure to plan your advising meeting with plenty of time for that to happen before your registration access time, and check Myslice to be sure your hold has been removed.

If you have a cumulative gpa above 3.5, and need to register for more than 19 credits for the Spring 2013 semester, please contact Hanna Richardson (hricha01@syr.edu) for permission.  You will need to specify which courses you need to take for your overload.

Honors advisors (Hanna, Karen, Kate) are available to help you figure out how to fit Honors into your plans for Spring.  Please call 443-2759 to make an appointment with one of us.
