Honors to UCORE Crosswalk

Transferring from Honors to UCORE 

Before transferring from Honors to UCORE, students are required to complete a consultation with an Honors College advisor.

Once that consultation has occurred, students then may work with their major advisor, who will assist with petitioning for UCORE equivalency for completed Honors coursework. Petitions are submitted to the University Requirements Petition Committee after the Registrar’s Office processes the change from Honors to UCORE requirements; as seen on the student’s Academic Requirements report.

1. Students who have completed all HONORS course work except thesis will be considered complete for all UCORE Requirements except[CAPS]. If applicable, CAS students’ second lab requirement will also be considered complete.
   1. The graduations area will enter a milestone to show UCORE requirements as complete. This is initiated through communication from the Honors College to the Registrar’s Office and does not require action on the part of the major advisor or student.
   2. Milestone will not be applied if any HONORS requirements have been waived or changed. Course directives (substitutions) will be allowed.
2. All other students who transfer from HONORS to UCORE will have their coursework applied as follows:
   1. Coursework that will automatically (no action needed on the part of major advisor or student) be directed to the UCORE requirements:
      1. HONORS 270 [SSCI]
      2. ECONS 198 [SSCI] or any Honors‐Level English [WRTG], Math [QUAN] or Science Course [BSCI/PSCI]
   2. HONORS courses without a direct UCORE equivalent will be entered as exceptions by the graduations area at the time of conversion to UCORE as follows:
      1. HONORS 280 and 380 for [ARTS] or [HUM] requirement. The designation of [ARTS] or [HUM] is determined by the University Requirements Petition Committee via petition submission, including relevant course syllabus.
      2. Completion of both HONORS 280 and 380 will fulfill the UCORE [ARTS] and [HUM] requirements.
      3. HONORS 370 for [DIVR], [EQJS], or [ROOTS] requirement. The designation of [DIVR], [EQJS], or [ROOTS] is determined by the University Requirements Petition Committee via petition submission, including relevant course syllabus.
      4. Completion of both HONORS 290 and 390 will fulfill the UCORE [BSCI], [PSCI], and lab requirements. CAS students will still need to complete an additional lab course.
      5. Course directives (substitutions) that were allowed by Honors College will be applied to the corresponding UCORE requirement.
   3. HONORS requirements that were changed or waived will not be considered complete for UCORE.
   4. Other HONORS to UCORE equivalencies not described above, may be acceptable. Students should consult with their major advisor and submit a University Requirements Petition for consideration.

Please advise students to contact the Honors College for exit counseling guidance.
