I am a continuing UTA student (Fall 2019).
Honors 101 (Formerly known as Honors College Orientation)
All students who will be new to the Honors College in Fall 2019 will be required to attend an Honors 101 session. During Honors 101, you will learn more about the Honors requirements and benefits.
Honors 101 will be held:
- Monday, August 19th, from 10 AM – 12 PM and from 2 – 4 PM
All Honors 101 sessions will be held in College Hall 101.
Honors Designated Courses
The Honors College offers a limited number of Honors-designated courses each fall and spring semester. Although Honors students are not required to take Honors-designated courses, we encourage them to do so. Students enjoy the Honors-designated courses because they are smaller and provide a stronger foundation in the subject matter. If you would like to add an Honors-designated course to your Fall 2019 schedule, you should be able to do so yourself in MyMav.
If you do not need/wish to take any of the Honors-designated courses offered this fall, or you do not wish to make changes to your existing fall schedule, that is okay! You will instead contract one or more of your regular classes. We will discuss contracting in greater detail at Honors 101.
Note: Starting in Fall 2019, Honors credit for Biology 1441/1442 can only be earned in the desginated Honors section. The courses are no longer eligible to contract for Honors credit.
Honors Advising
All newly admitted Honors students must meet with an Honors advisor during their first enrolled semester as an Honors student here at UT Arlington (Fall 2019). Honors advising is supplemental to academic advising; if you have questions pertaining to which courses you will take in the fall, you should contact your regular academic advisor. You will receive additional details about Honors advising at Honors 101.
I am an incoming transfer student (Fall 2019).
New Maverick Orientation
If you have not done so already, we encourage you to register for New Maverick Orientation (NMO). The earlier you attend NMO, the greater flexibility you will have in course scheduling.
Feel free to stop by and see us in College Hall, Suite 100, if you have questions during NMO. We are located directly across from the University Center, where you will spend most of your time during NMO.

Honors College Theme Housing
Do you plan to live on campus in the fall? If so, we encourage you to consider Honors College Theme Housing in Vandergriff Hall, one of the newest residence halls on campus!
