Honors Primetime is recommended to all first-year honors students as a fun and engaging way to learn about what it means to be a student in the program and build community with their peers, faculty, and staff.  There are two options for engagement. Students can enroll in either option at their summer orientation advisement appointment. More detailed information will be communicated by email to UI email accounts throughout the summer.

• Option 1: Honors Primetime with the pre-semester workshop (HONR:1100, Sections 0001-0020)

  • Pre-semester workshop takes place on Monday, August 14-Thursday, August 17.

  • Each workshop is taught by faculty and staff members across campus who have fascinating interdisciplinary interests. Each workshop topic is developed by the instructor to create an interactive and engaging curriculum.

  • Students can signup for the Honors Primetime section of their choosing at their advising appointment during orientation.

  • Successful completion of the pre-semester workshop and semester curriculum will result in students earning 1 honors experiential learning credit and 1 semester hour of honors coursework credit.

• Option 2: Honors Primetime without the pre-semester workshop (HONR:1100, Section 00021)

  • Starts at the beginning of Fall semester (Monday, August 21)

  • No pre-semester workshop required.

  • Successful completion of the semester curriculum will result in students earning 1 semester hour of honors coursework credit.

  • This is a great option for students who are involved in Iowa Edge, International Student Orientation, Hawkeye Marching Band, or any have any other obligations the week before school starts!
