Honors Support
After Orientation
Congratulations! You've created a schedule for your first semester and are now on the path to your new journey in the UConn Honors Program.
Important Reminders
Do not change your schedule after advising. Any permission numbers or overrides that were used to create your schedule are single use only. Wait until add/drop/swap begins on July 27th, and check below for additional instructions.
Questions about your schedule?
- For questions about schedule changes involving classes required for your major, check with your assigned advisor listed in StudentAdmin. If an advisor has not yet been assigned, you can also email your school/college's advising center.
- For questions about Honors courses and requirements, email honors@uconn.edu, not the Honors Orientation advisor you met with during Orientation.
Add/Drop/Swap
Add/drop/swap begins on July 27th and continues through the 10th day of classes. Since all students can make changes to their schedule during this period, classes may fill or reopen at any time.
Before making any changes, check any necessary AP or IB scores and make sure they have been sent to UConn. It takes time for the scores to be sent and for them to be processed onto your transcript, so do this now!
Swap don't drop! When you swap classes, the new class is added before the original class is dropped. If there is any problem with enrolling you in the new class, you still retain your original schedule. (Instructions on swapping courses.)
Trouble enrolling? Here is a list of possible reasons you might not be able to enroll in a class.
Honors Community
We are excited to welcome you to the Honors community this fall semester! Whether you live on-campus or will be learning remotely, we have several opportunities to stay engaged, connect with others, and start your UConn experience strong.
UNIV 1784 Facilitators: Your first-year seminar will be taught by an instructor and supported by Honors peer facilitators who will supplement your learning and help you explore UConn, create connections, and build your community. As you learn how to be successful at UConn and in Honors during your first semester, your facilitators will be there to help.
Honors Guides for Peer Success: Our Honors Guides for Peer Success (Honors GPS) Team is here to help you navigate the Honors co-curricular requirements and coach you toward success, helping you lead in your Honors journey. Find out more here.
Honors Organizations: UConn has hundreds of student organizations, and students in the Honors Program have started several based around varied interests. Check out the Honors organizations on the Storrs campus!
Honors Residential Communities: We work in partnership with Residential Life to support our Honors residential communities, including opportunities for Honors living spaces after the first year.
Stay Whelmed: Remember to pace yourself and prioritize curiosity, connection, and balance as much as achievement. Work towards staying whelmed as you build relationships, participate in the community, and maintain balance throughout your Honors experience.
