 Honors Registration

How to Register

New Honors students (incoming freshmen and transfer students) register for Honors courses during a UCF orientation held the summer before their first semester.

Current Honors students have registration appointment times assigned starting the first day of registration. You may register for both Honors and non-Honors courses at any time on or after your appointment time. It's in your best interest to register as soon as possible once your appointment time allows you access to myUCF, since Honors courses fill quickly.

Overrides

Any questions about possible overrides can be directed to BHC 107.

Registration Tips:  

1) Before You Register

1a) Verify Your Appointment Time

Check myUCF for your appointment time. If it doesn’t fall during the first few days of registration, contact the Office of Honors Advising immediately (407-823-5871).

1b) Meet any Mandatory Advising Appointments Advising Appointments and/or clear and Holds on your record. Check my UCF to see if the applies to you.

1c) Know Your Honors Requirements

All University Honors students take Freshmen Symposium and 12 hours of Honors GEP courses, but upper-division requirements differ by major. To find out yours, visit the University Honors section of our website.

2) Register for No More Than Two Honors courses

This includes both General Education/lower division courses as well as Honors Seminars/Upper Division courses. Unless you have received prior approval documented in your file from your Honors Advisor to enroll in more than two (2) Honors courses for the semester, you will be removed from ALL of your Honors courses without notice. We won't place you back into these Honors courses if they are closed: no exceptions. In an effort to give all Honors students opportunity to register for Honors courses, we must limit the number of Honors courses students can register for, and we appreciate your cooperation.

3) Freshmen Should Register for Two Honors courses

This is not a rule; however, we strongly recommend freshmen to take two Honors courses in the fall and spring semesters to fulfill their Honors lower-division (GEP) requirement of 12 hours while they still have GEP courses left to take. This especially holds true for freshmen coming in with many of their GEP credits fulfilled through AP, IB, or dual enrollment.

4) Registering for Seminars

Some interdisciplinary Seminars are listed under two separate course numbers and prefixes corresponding to the two disciplines associated with the course. Example: The Seminar Avant-garde in Theory and Practice listed as both LIT 3930H and MUS 3930H in the Class Schedule; each one has its own class number. Either one of these class numbers will enroll you in the course, but choose only one. Select the course subject most appropriate to your major/minor. Don't register for both class numbers.

Be careful when selecting a course number for seminars, since we frequently offer seminars from the same subject area, meaning those seminars will have the same subject prefix and catalog number. For example, two different literature seminars may both be listed as Special Topic DIG 3930H.
