UT Calendar for 2011-12: http://registrar.utexas.edu/calendars/11-12/

Figure out your gpa: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/student-affai…

Registration for Spring Begins October 24-November 4.  Before you register, you should see us for advising. Just call 471-3458 to set up a time with Linda or Stacey. Don’t email us, as it’s too hard to go back and forth choosing a time. Calling is much more efficient.

The lower-division honors course sign up  book is now available. To secure a seat in a lower-division honors course, you must sign up in the book. Come by the LAH office to see what we have!

Upper-Division LAHers, Remember that for any upper-division LAH course (LAH 350s)  you can register on your own as long as you have close to 60 hours and a 3.5 gpa. IF you are pursuing a dual degree in another college,you  will need to contact us during your registration time to be manually added into the class if the class is open.

Registration tip: for upper-division cross-listed LAH courses, it might be easier to register for the class under it’s cross-listing. Especially Government/LAH 350. If you are a Government major, and want an LAH 350 class that is cross-listed, you should go to the Government department to be added into the class. It will still count towards LAH under it’s cross-listing.

The LAH office had an extremely difficult time narrowing down the recipients of LAH Yearly Scholarships this year. The quality of writing in the applications was stellar  (you all know how to write!!) We just need more scholarship money so we can acknowledge more deserving students and we are working on it!

Congratulations go out to:
