Register for Spring 2025 Honors Classes
Starting today, Honors students can begin building their schedules for the coming spring semester. Start planning for next term by viewing the Spring 2025 Honors Course Catalog. Although there are a couple of gaps left to fill in, all TBA courses will be updated in the upcoming weeks.
Check eSantaFe for Registration Holds
Before you register, be sure to check your eSantaFe account for registration holds. Holds, such as the requirement to complete a registration agreement or meet with an advisor, will result in you being ineligible to register for courses and significantly delay processing.
Request Classes Now
Are you ready to request your Honors classes for Spring? Use the Honors Registration Request system to select your classes now. Submit your request today, and we will begin processing them as early as October 25. Regularly check your student email for confirmation of registration or additional details about next steps after this date.
Advanced Registration Begins October 31
Once you’ve completed your Honors Registration Request, you can view all of the other classes scheduled for the spring semester in your eSantaFe account. On October 31, you’ll be able to register for all of your non-Honors courses.
Planning for Spring Classes
Are you trying to figure out which classes would be the best fit for this spring, summer, or beyond? The best way to set up a plan for success is to meet with your advisor in the Academic Advisement Center. Log into eSantaFe now to find your advisor and set up a time to meet.
If you are planning to transfer to UF in the future, now is also an excellent time to plan on meeting with an advisor from your intended program. Contact the UF@SF Center for information on when UF advisors will be visiting to meet with prospective transfer students.
Join Us for the November Social - November 4, 11am - 2pm
Join the Ethics Bowl Scrimmage Match- October 30, 6pm
5 Honors Points for Attendance
This will be Santa Fe Ethics Bowl team vs. the SF Vultures scrimmage’s first annual match. This fine exhibition of Santa Fe students (including some honors students) will involve a thoughtful in-pair discussion about challenging contemporary ethical issues. This will be conducted as a standard round of competition in an Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl tournament, and so it is also a very good opportunity to see what the Ethics Bowl is all about. Join them to show support for the Ethics Bowl team and to also enjoy what should be a fun exchange of ideas.
Location: Lyceum, a.k.a. the E-building auditorium
Date: Wednesday, October 30th
Time: 6 PM
