Surveys and assessments
We know, we know. You're probably tired of having to fill out surveys and take tests in preparation for college. But that's not going to stop us.
- Honors Incoming Student Survey: Tell us a bit about yourself, your college-decision-making process and your expectations.
- Honors Peer Mentor Matching Survey: Fill this survey out if you'd like to be paired up with an Honors upperclassman during your first year. HPMs are very helpful with study skills, time management, getting around campus and the city--and much more. Not required, but recommended!
- Honors Chemistry Assessment (note: only for students in the College of Science and Technology, College of Engineering or any pre-health professional track): This is to gauge whether or not Honors General Chemistry will be a good fit for you. Take it, grade yourself, and know the results when we meet with you to register for classes. No pressure--be honest and do your best! We'll chat more about the results at orientation.
