Honors Log-In Advising

Need to touch base with an Honors advisor about Drop/Add questions? Then Honors Log-In Advising is for you!

The Honors Advising Team is happy to help you with your quick Honors and Spring registration questions through our virtual Honors Log-In Advising process! This is our way of delivering first-come, first-served advising to Honors students who were unable to attend an Honors advising appointment.


Log-In Advising is a virtual and convenient way to get quick questions answered by the first-available Honors advisor during the timeframes listed below.  It operates on a first-logged-in, first-served basis, so when you log-in on CardSmart, you will be added to our virtual queue, and the first-available Honors advisor will reach out to you via the chat on MS Teams (you will not receive a link for the meeting - please just watch for a message). Please note: You will not sign up for a future appointment through this process. You will log in to CardSmart on the day/hour during which you would like to meet with an advisor, and we recommend that you allow for a potential wait time.  See below for full instructions!

Honors Log-In Advising Period for Priority Registration:

Fri., 3/22/24 & Mon., 3/25/24

9:00am - 11:30am and 1:00pm - 3:30pm

All students will have a Pre-Registration Questionnaire hold on their accounts.  To remove this hold, please complete the questionnaire on your To Do List on ULink as soon as possible.  Detailed instructions are available here.

How does this process work?

You will sign into CardSmart during the designated times (9:00 - 11:30AM and 1-3:30PM) and request a meeting (instructions linked above). This immediately places you in our virtual queue. An advisor will see that you have joined the queue and will contact you through MS Teams to start your virtual advising video conversation. You will not receive a link; please keep MS Teams open so an advisor can contact you via instant message.

Depending on how many people are in the queue ahead of you, you may wait up to 30-40 minutes before an advisor can meet with you.  If you have questions about your position in the log-in queue, please feel free to contact Honors at 502-852-6293 or via the Honors Service Account at honors@louisville.edu. We appreciate your patience with the process, and we would be happy to help you with any questions you may have!

Advising will be delivered via MS Teams. We ask that you please be prepared for a video meeting so that we can better serve you by sharing screens and providing advising information to you as clearly as possible.  Please follow these steps to add yourself to the queue for Log-In to virtually meet with the first-available Honors advisor on Teams. If you need to speak with a specific Honors advisor, please email them directly for help.

Step-by-step instructions:

  1. Download the Microsoft Teams app to your computer or mobile device using your ULink log-in credentials, and log in once it is downloaded.  While there is a web-based option, we have found that downloading the Teams app directly to your device typically works better for these kinds of meetings.
  2. Log-in to your CardSmart account and follow the instructions for checking in for Honors Log-In Advising.
  3. Please stay logged into MS Teams and wait for an Honors advisor to contact you via the chat to let you know when your video advising meeting will start soon. We appreciate your patience during the waiting process as this is a first-come, first-served advising system. If you have questions about your position in the log-in queue, please feel free to contact Honors at 502-852-6293 or via the Honors Service Account at honors@louisville.edu.
