New Policy Affecting the Creation of Honors Sections

There is a new policy of charging students for drop and add (unless you drop one class and add another within 24 hours) starting the first day of classes. Therefore you should get any honors section (with section number 088) created as soon as possible to avoid these charges, since there is no charge for dropping and adding before the semester starts. This means that we will likely have to do much of the paperwork for the creation of an honors section through e-mail before the semester starts. All parties concerned can sign the forms once the semester starts.
