There are three HUM190 (Honors Forum) classes to choose from. If you plan to enroll in the Honors Forum class, HUM190 (which is STRONGLY recommended the first or second semester in the Honors Program) you must do so in person in the Admissions office or via the phone at 602.787.7000. You cannot register for HUM190 on my.maricopa.
New Way to Search for Honors Classes
You can now easily search for Honors classes, verify if they are still open and check to see how many seats are available
When you visit the college home page:
· Click on Class Schedule (under the College Guide)
· Click on All (in the Class Schedule Box…be sure to select Spring)
· Under the Drop down bar click on Honors
Or bookmark this short cut: http://zen.pvc.maricopa.edu/pvinfo/
You cannot register for classes from this sight, but it makes it easier for you to find Honors classes that are still available.
