What's Next - Preview Orientation
Honors students must attend a Preview orientation session during the summer prior to enrolling at UF. Honors students begin their Preview session along with non-honors students and are later separated into smaller groups led by honors advisors and student leaders. Space is limited for each Preview session, so registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have not registered for Preview, click here
Preview is a full 2-day program, lasting from 8:00am on Day 1 until 5:00pm on Day 2. Day 1 includes academic advising presentations, meetings with college representatives, and evening programming. Day 2 includes one-on-one academic advising with an Honors advisor, registration for summer and/or fall classes, Gator 1 Central (student ID cards, etc.), presentations, and course registration confirmation. If you have questions about Preview, please contact New Student Programs directly at (352) 392-8396.
After Preview; Before Classes Begin
- Print and review your schedule on ISIS:
It is important that you double-check your schedule to make sure you are registered for the classes you wanted. You will be able to adjust your schedule for Summer B classes after June 30, and for Fall classes after August 1 using ISIS. You should be able to make most schedule adjustments on ISIS by yourself. If you encounter any problems, you may contact the Honors Program at (352) 392-1519 or honors@ufl.edu . - Confirm that your AP, IB, SAT II, and Dual Enrollment credits have been reported to UF:
Please check ISIS to confirm that any scores from AP/IB or SAT II tests have been reported to UF, especially those classes taken before your senior year. If your scores have not been reported, contact:
AP & SAT II Scores: www.collegeboard.com , (609) 921-9000

If your course selection changes due to your newest exam scores, contact the Honors Program at (352) 392-1519 or honors@ufl.edu.
If you took dual enrollment courses, you must request that the college or community college through which you earned your dual enrollment credit send an official transcript to UF. You must report ALL dual enrollment to UF.
