Honors & Scholars Orientation

Get to know the Honors and Scholars Programs at the Honors & Scholars Pre-Orientation session! Join fellow incoming honors students and the Honors & Scholars staff for an evening that will prepare you to become an Honors Vol. Designed as a complement to UT’s two-day general orientation, this evening session maximizes students’ time on campus by introducing them to the expectations of a college honors program while creating connections to the staff and community that will support them.

What to expect

The Honors & Scholars Pre-Orientation session will introduce students to the honors experience at UT, give students a chance to make meaningful connections with honors students and staff members, and teach students about the specifics of their honors program. Each pre-orientation session will begin at 6:00 PM and end at 10:00 PM and take place in the Student Union. Students will be provided dinner and snacks during the session.

* While the Honors & Scholars Pre-Orientation session is for students only, there will be an optional presentation for families from 6:00 -7:00 PM in the auditorium of the Student Union.

Housing:

Students attending the Honors & Scholars Pre-Orientation session are welcome to stay an additional night on campus the evening of their session. Accommodations can be made for Fred D. Brown Residence Hall for a charge of $27 for students due upon arrival. Overnight housing for the Honors & Scholars Pre-Orientation is not included in your orientation registration fee.

Families may also take advantage of this housing option for $37.32 per person for a shared room or $45 per person for a private room.
