Dr. Wayne Banwart commissioned Rob Chappell to produce the first edition of the ACES Honors Handbook in summer 2004. It was designed to provide readers with an authoritative roadmap through the ACES James Scholar process from start to finish. This is the authoritative version of the text, to which Dean Simmons granted official approval on July 26, 2007.
The ACES Honors Handbook -- Fourth (2007) Revised Edition (PDF)

A completely new condensed edition of the ACES Honors Handbook is scheduled for publication on this website in December 2009 or January 2010.

Comments, questions, and suggestions pertaining to the ACES Honors Handbook may be directed to its compositor, Rob Chappell.
Please note that other Colleges at the University of Illinois have James Scholar Programs of their own and that their policies and procedures may differ significantly from those outlined in the ACES Honors Handbook. James Scholars must follow the guidelines and regulations of the College in which they are currently enrolled, and questions about policies and procedures should be directed to the administrators of the appropriate College's Honors Program.
CAUTION: Please be sure to consult authoritative sources of information regarding any questions or concerns that you might have regarding your James Scholar status within ACES. Remember that the only stupid question is the question that is never asked! You may contact the official representatives of ACES James Scholardom through the Honors Program Directory Page on this website.
