As registration for the Spring 2013 semester approaches, it is *very important* that you read the official emails and notices concerning Mavlink.

You can look at classes online by going to the MavLink portal through "my.unomaha.edu."  You need not even sign in... all you need to do is check the blue ‘Search of Classes’ button on the screen.  On the next screen enter the semester:  Spring 2013.  Next, click “Honors Program” in the Special Programs box.  The Spring 2013 schedule has over 100 courses available for Honors credit, ranging from Honors only classes to Honors classes with Projects or Options.  Remember, contracts and Honors option courses need projects so be sure to talk to your professor!
