Honors Leadership Program FYI’s Banner Registration in ELPS 207, 217, 457 requires students to have declared the honors minor. Student can register for these if their banner profile is accurate. Remember to reattach the LS minor indicator to a student profile if you make changes. You can add LSM back to the profile if the student is an Honors Leadership Program (HLP) student. Course Load Concerns Significantly less annual credit hours after 1st year Do not conflate LSM-H and HLP requirements Students can graduate with the LSM-H even if they drop the HLP
