Honors Program

At Orientation, here’s how we’ll help you stay whelmed:

• Get to know your fellow Huskies and fellow Honors Huskies (on day 1 while you’re on campus!)
• One-on-One Advising & Registration Appointment (on date you selected when you signed up for Orientation – either the day after you are on campus, or the day after that!)
  • Individual virtual meeting with your Honors Orientation advisor, to help you register for Fall 2025 classes, taking into account your interests and any credits you may be bringing in. Be sure to:
    • Complete your Honors Interactive Advising Worksheet (IAW) 
    • Review your IAW (sent to you via email) & info you receive while on campus for day 1 of Orientation 
  • Honors is a layer to Common Curriculum/major requirements (not a requirement on top of)
    • Recommended Course Load: 12-16 credits total for fall semester
    • Within those 12-16 credits, UNIV 1784 Honors First-year Seminar, plus 1 additional Honors course*
      • *Note: you will discuss your Honors course options with your Honors Orientation advisor during Honors Advising & Registration. These options may include courses that help you earn Honors credit toward your intended major, the Common Curriculum, and/or the University Honors Laureate award. You should plan to take just one Honors course this fall in addition to UNIV 1784. Remember: You’re just getting started! You don’t need to complete all your Honors or Common Curriculum requirements this year – just begin making progress.
  • Check your email the week before your Orientation session for confirmation of the date/time for this appointment and the link to join your WebEx meeting 

Prepare for your Orientation session with this detailed checklist (Before Orientation tab)!

Beyond Orientation, remember there are lots of folks in Honors who can help you stay whelmed:
