Ernie Pyle Scholars and Media Scholars direct admits will need to enroll in their eight-week, one credit required honors freshmen seminar.  Ernie Pyle Scholars should register for MSCH-H 110, which meets on Tuesday evenings and Media Scholars should register for MSCH-H 111, which meets on Thursday evenings.  All the students are coded as MSCH honors in SIS so should have access to enroll in the appropriate course.

Health Professions and Prelaw Center  - The Health Professions and Prelaw Center (HPPLC) provides advising and other services for students who want to pursue careers in law, medicine, and other health professions. Incoming students can benefit from their "New Students" page which contains NSO planning tools for a variety of fields. New students can also subscribe to the appropriate email list for their intended profession so they can receive targeted information for their area of interest, including invitations to workshops and information sessions where they can gain tips on becoming a competitive applicant.   

You play an important role in helping students prepare, and helping HPPLC advisors connect with them. Anytime you meet with a new prelaw, premed, or pre-health student, please use a “tag” in AdRx to indicate the student’s area of interest. There are some duplicate tags in AdRx, but HPPLC recommends that you use the following tags: Pre-Dental, Pre-Law, Pre-Med, Pre-OT, Pre-Optometry, Pre-PT, Pre-PA, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Vet. These tags will help HPPLC pull data and place students on the correct HPPLC email list for their area. If students want to they can go ahead and add themselves to any HPPLC email list by going to https://hpplc.indiana.edu/about/email-lists.html. 

Finally, please reach out to HPPLC if you have any questions. You can send email to hpplc@indiana.edu or contact an individual HPPLC advisor. Please also feel free to call HPPLC at 812-855-1873. 

Honors Courses - The Hutton Honors College provides a searchable list of honors courses on their website. This search allows students to filter by term, School, keyword, GenEd designation, CASE designation, and open status. Clicking into the "details" of a course will also allow advisors and students to access course descriptions, when available.  

The 2023 Hutton Honors College Advising Flyer is a great one-page guide to membership and notation requirements, permissions procedures and tips for advising honors students. 

All IFS courses are listed at https://ifs.indiana.edu/courses/index.html. Any COLL-S 103, S 104, or S105 is designated as a CASE CAPP course and carries GenEd and CASE A&H, S&H, or N&M Breadth of Inquiry, respectively.

If a student wishes to drop an IFS course, advisors may request drop permission via the online Permissions form.

If a student is enrolled in an IFS course and pre-enrolled in an ASURE COLL-C 103, C 104, or C 105 course that carries the same Breadth of Inquiry (A&H, S&H, or N&M) as the IFS course, the student will not earn degree credit for both classes. Advise the student that if they want to earn degree credit for both IFS and the ASURE seminar, they need to contact IFS to ask if another course is open that carries a different Breadth of Inquiry from the ASURE class.

SLST Policy—Effective for Students Entering IUB Fall 2022 and Later

To ensure that international students have the English language skills to succeed at Indiana University Bloomington, all international students are required to demonstrate necessary English proficiency either by successfully completing or by exemption. Read the updated policy here.

The “SLST Exemption Placement Process” document provides a detailed account of policy and process.  Of particular use to advisors is the appendix—a chart showing the language that will display in both AdRx and the AAR for each reason a student may be exempted from the required SLST oracy courses or SLST literacy course. 

The SnipImage shows how IAET scores will display in AdRx.  Each course displays.  A “1” means the student does not have to take the course.  A “0” means the student has placed in the course.

Freshmen and sophomores in the Collins Living Learning Center are expected to complete one (3 cr.) Collins seminar per year in addition to the Q199 "Residential Learning Workshop." If, after building their fall schedule, a student indicates that they would rather defer this requirement for one semester, please direct them to complete and submit the Collins Living Learning Center Deferral Form.

First-year residents of the Hamilton Lugar School LLC are required to take two courses: 

1. SGIS-S 150, Fall semester, 1 cr., must be by section; and
2. One 3 cr. HLS course, Fall or Spring semester, open choice

Most students in the LLC are Direct Admits in HLS and fulfill these requirements in the fall semester through pre-enrollment in S150 and I100, or through EALC, MELC, or CEUS courses that those majors register for. There are some LLC residents, however, who are not Direct Admits and do not get HLS courses in their schedule. LLC students who experience hardship in fulfilling these requirements due to conflicts with other academic requirements may apply for an exemption by contacting Will Smith or the Associate Director, Samson Lotven at least two weeks before their registration appointment for spring 2024.

Army ROTC students and Air Force ROTC students take classes for their ROTC programs beginning in their first semester. See the table of required classes below.

When working with a ROTC student, advise them that all MIL-G or AERO-A classes are outside College hours, and ensure that they understand the requirement for a minimum of 100 hours inside the College.

The Wells Scholars Program is a prestigious, merit-based scholarship program at Indiana University.  Students who participate in the program will be pre-enrolled in a dedicated section of HON-H 234: Literature of Time and Place for the Fall 2023 semester (section 10972 with Professors Irmscher and Hamburger).  If a student received the Wells Scholarship and is not enrolled in HON-H 234, they should hold space in their schedule for that course while they communicate with the Wells Scholars Program.  These students will take a second required course in Spring 2024, although the course number and title have not yet been determined.
