Honors Year One: About

Because of the importance of engaging in the Honors College from the beginning of each student’s academic career, all new incoming Honors College freshmen are required to enroll in an Honors Year One course during their first year. Transfer students and current students admitted to Honors College after the completion of at least two semesters of coursework at UA are not required to complete the Honors Year One course.

Honors College courses that fulfill the HYO requirement include:

UH 100 Honors Year One: Honors Connections
All Honors Connection Courses are two credit hours and standard letter grade. Fall only.

UH 110 Honors Year One: Honors Engagement
All Honors Engagement Courses are two credit hours and standard letter grade. Spring and summer only.

Students must receive a grade of “C” or better in UH 100 or UH 110 in order for the course to fulfill the HYO requirement.

Please note: Students in Randall Research Scholars Program, Witt University Fellows Program, Achieve Scholars Program, Blount Scholar Program, McCollough Pre-Medical Scholars Program, STEM Path to MBA, CREATE Path to the MBA or EPIC Scholars Program also fulfill the Honors Year One requirement through their respective program.
