<p class="MsoNormal">Effective immediately, students <span style="color:#44546A">
enrolled in the Honors Program who are completing their degree checks </span>will need to drop off their pink sheets at the front desk of Slonaker House during regular business hours<span style="color:#44546A">. These forms will be reviewed, signed and returned
to the student </span>within two weeks. (Degree checks for December graduates will be prioritized and completed in a shorter time frame.)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note that all students intending to graduate with Honors absolutely must obtain the Honors signature on the pink sheet, even if the ADVIP runs clean. Students who are active members of the Honors College but have no intention of
graduating with Honors (not completing a thesis/capstone, or not able to reach a 3.5 GPA) do not need to obtain an Honors signature on the degree check.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate your sharing this information with your students as you direct them through the degree check process, and I appreciate your understanding that we need to adapt our procedures while I’m away from the office. I plan to return
on a part-time basis in January, so will resume my meetings with graduating students at that time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Once I start my leave later in the month, the point person for the degree check process will be Sarahna Moyd, Honors College Student Academic Specialist. She can be reached at
<a href="mailto:sarahna1@email.arizona.edu">sarahna1@email.arizona.edu</a>. <o:p>
