For Fall 2024 - the deadline for approved Honors conversion requests was Friday, September 13th.

If you are enrolled in the Honors Program, there are cases in which you may earn Honors credits in a non-Honors course. To do this, you work out a plan with the instructor of the course to be converted, submit an Honors conversion request to be approved by the instructor and your Honors Advisor, and “convert” the course to Honors credit by completing agreed upon work and earning a B- or above in the course and having it approved by the instructor.

IMPORTANT: Conversions are not allowed for courses with sections already offered for Honors credit or Honors course equivalents. Students must arrange their schedule to accommodate the Honors section (unless the Honors section is full at the time of registration).

1. Read the Honors Conversion Policy before pursuing an Honors Conversion.
2. IMPORTANT: Search for the course in the Dynamic Class Search, Honors Classes Only.  Conversions are not allowed for courses with sections already offered for Honors credit or Honors course equivalents. Students must arrange their schedule to accommodate the Honors section (unless the course is full at the time of registration).
3. Communicate with the instructor to gain their support BEFORE submitting an online conversion request.
4. Look up your Honors advisor prior to beginning your online request. Log into Student Admin, Academic Progress & Advising, Advisor tab, and cross check which advisor is on this list for your Honors major Honors advisor list by school/college.
5. Only submit one request per course.  If you create a duplicate please email honors@uconn.edu to have one removed from the system.
6. Submit request(s) early in the semester to allow approval by the instructor and then your Honors advisor by the posted approval deadline.
7. IMPORTANT: You must receive an email confirming that the instructor and your Honors advisor approved your request, prior to beginning conversion work.

For Fall 2024 - the deadline for approved Honors conversion requests was Friday, September 13th.

Approved Conversion Request Deadlines

• Spring/Fall approved conversion requests are due by the end of the 3rd week of the semester.
• Winter/Summer approved conversion requests are due by the end of the 1st week of the course.

It is the student's responsibility to check the status of their conversion request(s) to be sure they have been approved by the instructor and by the advisor.  The instructor must first approve, then the Honors advisor receives a request to approve. After they both approve you will receive a confirmation email and can begin the work.
