Honors Update?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Tulane University

Hello,

I recently received an email inviting me to the Tulane Honors Program and Honors Weekend, even though I never initially received an Honors College Invitation when I was admitted EA w/scholarship.

I would love to attend Honors Weekend to meet all of my potential future peers, but my family and I already booked (nonrefundable tix) a destination Tulane visit in February. I have asked my regional counselor to try to schedule additional Honors activities when I visit for destination Tulane, but I would really love to go to the actual Honors weekend.

Do you think I should ask my admissions counselor if Tulane would be able to fund the additional plane ticket for Honors weekend? Is the Honors weekend even worth it? Any input is appreciated!

@sona7662 Did you try calling your airline first? Even if the tickets are non-refundable, in my experience the airlines are almost always willing to work with you on moving the flights for a small fee.

The main advantage to Honors weekend over Destination Tulane is that at Honors weekend the students meet with an advisor and select a schedule for the Fall semester. I agree with @EDHDAD check with the airlines and see if they will move the ticket to a different date without a penalty.
