Honors Advisors Digest

Below is a copy of an email sent to all Honors students on regional campuses on 10/17: 

Good morning, Honors students at regional campuses, 

I’m writing to send an update about Honors course offerings at regionals before spring 2026 course registration (priority registration for Honors students) begins next week for seniors and continues through 11/3 for first-years. 

Please see below my signature for the message sent on 10/7 to all Honors students, on all campuses, re: Honors courses this spring 2026. The info there is important and relevant, please review how to see the full lists of Honors courses (and you can sort the full list by campus!). You can also use Dynamic class search (select “Honors Courses only”), as well as the Search Classes function includes an “Honors” checkbox (all the way at the bottom under “Courses for Specific Academic Communities.”). These tools are particularly important to use if you’re campus changing to Storrs in the fall, or are hoping to split time between campuses, as this email is about Honors courses at regional campuses. 

Below are Honors courses on regional campuses that either fulfill a general education requirement (General Education Content Areas or Common Curriculum Topics of Inquiry) and/or are open to all Honors students, with particular attention to section numbers and class numbers (be sure to enroll in the right section if you are intending to take the Honors course). We added a few options for Honors courses on regionals very recently (some are still being finalized in StudentAdmin), so please see below. This list below does NOT include courses that are specific to certain majors, so please check in with your Honors advisor and the full lists for any Honors courses within your major specifically.

Reminders:

• For comprehensive lists (above is just those open to all students/all majors): Use Dynamic Class search within StudentAdmin (Check “Honors classes”), this list Honors Courses: Spring 2026 | UConn Honors Program (sort by campus), or the  Search Classes function (select “Honors” all the way at the bottom under “Courses for Specific Academic Communities).
• Check the Catalog to confirm which general education requirement a course fulfills.
• Here is where you check which category something counts in for University Honors Laureate.
• Honors conversions are also always an option if we don’t offer an Honors course in a course you need for University Honors Laureate or Honors Scholar on your campus. Honors conversions are great ways to get to know faculty members and individualize your learning in a course. 

Take good care of yourselves and one another,

Kaitlin
