WHAT DOES A NEW HONORS STUDENT DO NEXT?

If you are a new student to the Honors College, you're probably wondering what you need to do before your first semester with us. We've compiled a quick and simple guide just for you.

Honors Residential Life

New for 2026

The UTA Honors College offers a unique residential experience for on-campus students. Starting in 2026, honors students who live on campus will all be housed together in our new community. This gives students the ability to live with likeminded students excited to get the best out of their UTA experience.

This community will feature themed honors communities within it to help students to deeply engage their peers, both academically and socially. Check back soon for more announcements about this new living experience.

Honors Research Symposium – Fall 2025

Join us on Friday, November 14th from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM in 6th Floor of the Central Library for the Fall 2025 Honors Research Symposium. The Honors Research Symposium (HRS) enables honors students to present the results from months of hard work and dedication in conducting research in a variety of disciplines. HRS is held in the fall and spring semesters and is open to all faculty, staff, students, and the UTA community.

The Archer Fellowship

The Archer Fellowship Program provides graduate and undergraduate students from across The University of Texas System with a unique opportunity to live, learn, and intern in our nation’s capital during the summer. Washington, D.C. offers unparalleled opportunities for career development and cultural enrichment. While in D.C., students earn in-residence UT Arlington credit for their coursework and gain hands-on work experience in an internship. The Archer Fellowship Program is tailored to students’ own personal and intellectual interests, which allows them to connect their developing expertise to policy and public service.
