Timeline for Graduation

Ongoing Preparation for Honors Graduation

  • If you are planning to graduate in less than four years or more than four years, please email honors@uconn.edu to let us know. The Honors offices uses the year you entered UConn to determine when you will graduate and when to send out important reminders for forms and deadlines.
  • Follow your Honors Preliminary Plan of Study that you submitted through Quest (Honors Plan) as a junior. You will update that plan to submit as your Honors Final Plan by the end of your next to last semester as one of the steps outlined in the Honors timeline for graduation.
  • Connect with your departmental Honors advisor about any changes to your Honors Plan and discuss department-specific Honors requirements.
  • Communicate with your departmental Honors advisor about your plan and completion of your Engagement in the Major Field
  • Stay in touch with your Honors advisor and thesis supervisor as you work to complete your Honors thesis/project.
  • Review your transcript to be sure “Honors credit” has been added for all courses taken for Honors credit (Honors graded or conversion).
  • Review HuskyCTfor badges awarded for UHL Co-curricular requirements.
  • Contact honors@uconn.edu with any questions.
