Affiliating yourself with your institution

If you are not the director of your program, or you do not hold a current NCHC Institutional or Professional Membership, and/or have not attended an NCHC program in the past year, you may not be in our new software system yet!

Be sure to select “Contact” when creating a username for our website. If your institution has an Institutional Membership, signing up as a "Contact" will affiliate you with your institution, and you'll be able to register for the online event, and make use of the NCHC community forums. If you sign up for any membership aside from "Contact," you will be asked to pay for that membership fee.

You'll receive an email notification, and THEN you may start registration for the intended online event.

Throughout the nation, honors courses and honors programming must be distanced and, more often than not, remote, throughout the fall. In response, 2-year honors communities are responding with agility through innovation and flexibility. As is often the case, some programs and colleges are serving as models for their institutions.

Join Honors Directors, Quakish Williams, Broward College, and Kathleen King, Hillsborough Community College, as we explore ways to cultivate a virtual honors environment in response to COVID-19 restrictions through a round table discussion to discover our “new normal.” We want to know and share what has been done to develop a rich community of learners in honors in response to vast changes in delivery.
