Welcome to Orientation!
Now that you’re here for your Storrs Honors Orientation session, this tab brings together the tools and resources you’ll use during your Orientation session, especially while preparing for and completing course registration on Day 2.
Before your session today, make sure you’ve completed all items on the Before Orientation tab, including the Honors Interactive Advising Worksheet (IAW). Having that information ready will help Honors Orientation Advisors assist you efficiently with registration on Day 2.

- UNIV 1784 (required)
