Honors Program

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

• Get oriented to UConn with your fellow Honors Huskies (Day 1)
• Honors Advising & Registration (Day 2)
  • An Honors Orientation advisor will 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 Interactive Advising Worksheet
      
    • Review your IAW & the info you receive on Day 1 from your School/College
  • 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 get more info once you complete your Interactive Advising Worksheet about your Honors course options and discuss these with an 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.

Prepare for your Orientation session with this detailed checklist!
