A few things puzzle me. Can you post below or email me in response to the following questions, at your convenience?

1. The Honors courses aren’t filled for spring, although we have far more Honors students than seats in Honors classes. If you’re not taking Honors in spring, is it because (a) the classes you need to fulfill your GEs aren’t there (b) you plan to fulfill  your GEs with courses other than the ones we created as Honors courses for spring (c) you’re concerned that Honors classes will be too challenging with your other coursework and obligations (d) you didn’t have a good experience with your fall Honors courses.

If there’s a course you would love to see in Honors version, please note that in comments below (and respond to others’ comments so we get a sense of how many people are looking for that course for next year)

2.  I’ve heard students say they didn’t realize they were in Honors. Incoming freshmen accepted into Honors received their notices of acceptance by mail. If you did not know you’d been accepted, please tell me if you (a) are positive you didn’t receive the notice via mail (b) it’s possible you didn’t open yet another envelope and therefore missed the notice.

On that  note, would an email be preferable? Do you check your OSU email address after being accepted to Newark (but before starting classes?).
