Advising Hold Removal Schedule
While all honors students are encouraged to see a Honors Program Officer before registration, Columbian College students who have not declared a major may meet with one of the Program Officers in order to remove your advising hold BEFORE registration. Make sure you are prepared with a tentative course schedule using the Fall 2015 Schedule of Classes and Honors course offerings. As new course information and revisions become available we will update the website. Please re-check the information on the Schedule of Classes and the Honors site before you register to ensure that you’re up-to-date!
Please use our wide selection of dates to your advantage – plan on meeting with an advisor at a time that is most practical given your registration date. Students may discuss registration and remove advising hold by one of the following options:

1. Attend an advising party:
   Thursday, March 19th from 12 to 2 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
   Monday, March 23rd from 4 to 6 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
   Tuesday, March 24th from 12 to 2 p.m. – pizza in the Club Room on Foggy Bottom!
2. Make an appointment with an advisor online at http://www.gwu.edu/~uhpwww/appointments.cfm

 
Attention ALL Students: Urgent Hold Information
Check your record via GWeb regarding holds prior to your scheduled registration time. Any hold on your account will prevent access to registration. Elliott, Business, and Engineering School students should meet with their school advisors for hold removal, if they have holds, and for registration advising, but are always welcome to Honors advising about their course selection!
Course Descriptions
Please find the Fall 2015 UHP Course Descriptions here. Please note that we are still working with the Scheduling Office to work out a couple of glitches with the schedule of classes, so you will notice that a couple of CRNs are listed as TBD. As soon as those courses are finalized, we will update the document with CRNs.

Did you know there’s an Honors course that actually meets at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African Art It’s true!  There are still seats left for this only-at-GW course.  (The course only sometimes meets at the museum, other times it’s here on campus)

People of African descent have lived in the United States since the 17th century. Largely involuntary migrants, their experiences were shaped by the experience of bondage and involuntary servitude, repressive and discriminatory legislation, and oppression. This course will focus on more recent African arrivals to the United States, exploring the history of Africans who voluntarily migrated to the country – African immigrants. The course will examine Africans who came to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century as students, visitors, missionaries, and temporary residents. It will also examine the experience of those Africans who arrived in the United States, following the liberalization of immigration laws in the 1960’s. Themes to be explored include reasons for African migration, settlement patterns, adjustment issues, and relationships with Americans, black and white. As much as possible we will assess the experience of these migrants from their own perspectives as immigrants in a new land.
