Who needs permission to register
- Students who are not Math Honors students (including graduate students).
- Any student — including a Math Honors student — taking a 5xxx- level Honors math course for the first time.
How requests are processed
- Due to rigorous nature of honors courses, transcripts are run and a Math faculty advisor evaluates the student's readiness for the honors math course requested.

8xxx-level graduate Math courses
- Email [email protected] with registration permission questions about 8xxx-level Math courses.
- Undergraduate student requests are vetted by the Honors Math advisor and the course instructor.
CPT course registration
Follow the steps outlined in "Applying for CPT" on the ISSS website. Depending on the college you are admitted to, take one of the CPT courses below.
OUE 2196/3196: CPT course for CSE students. This may be taken concurrently with an internship or in the fall after a summer internship.
CLA 3896: CPT course for CLA students. This course is to be taken concurrently with an internship.
CLA 3996: CPT course for CLA students. This course is taken during the fall semester to reflect on a summer internship.
Capstone and independent or directed study
MATH 4995 or 4997W
CLA students should enroll in either the writing-intensive, 4997W, or the non-writing-intensive, 4995, CLA capstone course during their senior year. CLA students in the UHP program will do the honors thesis in place of the capstone (enrollment in the capstone course is still mandatory).
CSE students in the UHP program who need writing-intensive credit may enroll in the CLA Capstone course, MATH 4997W, while completing their honors thesis.
Follow the registration instructions on the Capstone Course webpage.
MATH 4992 or 4993
Use the Directed Research/Directed Study contract. The student must consult with their supervising faculty member and their advisor before submitting a directed activity contract. Directed activities earning more than one credit are approved only in unusual circumstances.
