Honors CUSTOMS Information

CUSTOMS is the Middle Tennessee State University new student orientation program. CUSTOMS helps new undergraduate students transition into the university, prepares new students for MTSU’s educational opportunities, and initiates the integration of new students into the institution’s intellectual, cultural, and social climate. All new students must complete this orientation to register for classes.

Information on how to register for CUSTOMS can be found on the main CUSTOMS page.


Information for new Honors students can be found by viewing our videos, reading the Frequently Asked Questions, and reviewing the list of classes for the upcoming semester. If you have further questions, please get in touch with one of our Honors advisors.
