Services for Honors Students

Scholar Studies

Scholar studies in the main library are exclusively available for use by students participating in the senior honors program. Each honors student is guaranteed the use of a scholar study for one semester only.

Scholar study applications should be submitted to Bill Ruth during the spring semester before the senior honors project year.

Submission of an application indicates an agreement to abide by the rules for assigned scholar studies. For more information contact Bill Ruth in the main library Administrative Office during regular business hours.

All scholar studies offer wired and wireless access to the campus network. Users who would like to connect their computers to the campus network should contact the CIT Help Desk for assistance.
