During Orientation (Stamford)
Welcome to Orientation!
This tab brings together the tools and resources you’ll use during your Honors advising and registration appointment (the date after your on-campus day that you selected when you signed up for Orientation).
Before Orientation make sure you’ve completed all items on the Before Orientation tab, including the Honors Interactive Advising Worksheet (IAW), and attend your in-person/on-campus Orientation session.
Your First-Semester Schedule
For your first semester, you’ll take 12-17 credits total. Within these credits, you’ll enroll in:
- UNIV 1784 (required)
- One additional Honors course
This is just a quick reminder! Full details for planning are on the Before Orientation page. Don’t forget to review the information on your Honors IAW.
