Advising
Advising for Students in the Lloyd International Honors College
Lloyd International Honors College offers comprehensive advising for all Honors students. Two Honors Advisers, along with departmental Honors Faculty Liaisons, work in concert with your regular academic adviser to help you make the most of your undergraduate studies at UNCG. While your assigned academic adviser will be able to provide the most comprehensive information on requirements in your particular degree program, Honors advising can help you navigate all aspects of the International and Disciplinary Honors programs in order to achieve your academic goals over the course of your time at the University.
Are you Interested in Honors?
If you are an incoming UNCG student or current student interested in the International Honors Program, or if you're not sure which program is right for you, please call Mr. Chris Kirkman at (336) 334-9772. If you are a current student interested in the Disciplinary Honors program, please call Ms. Shelley Ewing at (336) 334-4490. Honors Advisers can help you with:
- The benefits of enrolling in an Honors program
- Determining the best fit for you: International Honors or Disciplinary Honors
- How to enroll in one or both of the programs offered by the Honors College
- Honors College entrance requirements
Are you a Current Honors student?
Current Honors students, can make an advising appointment by logging in to Blackboard and clicking the Starfish link. From there, you can add information to your profile that your instructors and advisors will see when you make an appointment. Then, start scheduling the time you need. International Honors students should make appointments with Mr. Kirkman. Disciplinary Honors students should make appointments with Ms. Ewing. You are also encouraged to get to know the faculty Honors Liaison in your department, especially by the time you are a junior and fully in your major. Honors Liaisons are a valuable resource as you work on Disciplinary Honors.
