Honors Orientation FAQs (Hartford)

Will I work with my Honors Advisor at Orientation?

All Honors students at Hartford will work with Pat Nigro, Honors & Enrichment Program Coordinator, UConn Hartford when registering for classes at Orientation. Pat will serve as an advisor for all Honors students at UConn Hartford. If you have a question, please email patrick.nigro@uconn.edu and honors@uconn.edu (just in case Pat is out of the office). If the question is better suited to a different staff or faculty member, Pat or an Honors staff member will let you know!

I am expecting AP credit but I don’t have my scores yet, what should I do?

At least a week prior to your Orientation session, you will need to complete the Honors Interactive Advising Worksheet where you will indicate earned and expected ECE, AP, and IB credits. At Orientation, you will discuss your options based on your expected credits. Once you receive your scores, you will need to request that the College Board send them to UConn.

How do I change my major?

Right now, you may request a change to your major through your Applicant Portal. Undergraduate Admissions will review your request and notify you of any updates. If not approved prior to starting at UConn, you can discuss changing your major with Pat Nigro once you start the fall semester.

I already registered and I want to change my schedule. What should I do?

We understand that sometimes changes need to be made to a student’s schedule after Orientation. We recommend that you “swap don’t drop” so that you do not lose a seat before getting another. Reach out to both honors@uconn.edu and patrick.nigro@uconn.edu with any questions.
