Prepare for your Honors Orientation advising and registration appointment by completing the following AT LEAST ONE WEEK PRIOR TO YOUR ON-CAMPUS ORIENTATION DAY:
- Gather info on any credits you may have earned through AP, ECE, or other transfer sources
- AP: Scores from any classes taken in prior years.
- ECE: Official UConn grades from Student Administration.
- Transfer courses: UConn equivalent courses when available.
- No worries if you aren’t bringing in credit, there is plenty of time!
- Complete the required Honors Interactive Advising Worksheet! your Honors Orientation advisor will need this info to guide you through course selection for your first semester and to potentially pre-enroll you (reserve seats) in anticipated coursework, which you’ll review and revise together in your appointment].
- You will need to log in using your NetID and password for this worksheet; If you need help, visit the NetID page or contact UConn ITS. Remember your log-in info because you will be using it to log into StudentAdmin to enroll in courses during your appointment.
- This worksheet is in addition to any other form(s) that may be required.
- Review your school/college requirements and complete any necessary placement exams. Also be sure to save information/worksheets from your on-campus Orientation day related to course recommendations, you will need this for your registration appointment.
- Check for any holds that may prevent registration, such as your SF Responsibility Agreement.
- Review Honors course descriptions for fall 2024; make note of one or more that interests you and/or fulfills a requirement you need. Think about other courses on your “wish list” that you may want to take this fall.
- Review UNIV 1784 course descriptions for fall 2024; practice adding a section that interests you to your shopping cart (Adding to your cart is not enrolling in the course; this UNIV section may or may not be the one you actually enroll in due to course availability and scheduling).
- Download the Cisco Webex Meetings App (recommended) or familiarize yourself with the web client. More info can be found at: https://its.uconn.edu/webex/
- Check that you are able to share your screen and if you are using a Mac, have updated the proper privacy/security permissions
