Account availability and credentials:

• Accounts for new Honors students will generally be available by the fourth week of the student’s first semester in the Honors Program.
• Your Honors Network username is your UGA MyID (the part of your UGA email address before the "@uga.edu"). Use the same password for the Honors Network as for your UGA email, eLearning Commons, Oasis, etc.
• DO NOT use any "change password" feature you see on an Honors Network account screen.
• Make any password changes only through the official campus system for changing your MyID password. Changes made via the MyID system should propagate to the Honors Network within thirty minutes.

Account security – particularly important on any shared computer:

• Leave the "Remember Me" box on the login page UNCHECKED.
• DO NOT allow the web browser to save your password.
• Always click "Logout" before closing the browser tab or window.

General navigation:

• Once you are logged in, you’ll see the Home screen for your account. It is a web page with an event calendar in the middle, contact information to the right, and links labeled "My Account" and "Log out" in the upper right-hand corner.
• The My Account link takes you to your profile pages.
• Clicking on any event in the calendar allows you to view information about the event and, if desired, register for it.

To create, view, or edit your profile:

• Clicking on My Account takes you to the "View" screen for your profile. Once you add information to your profile, most of it will be displayed here.
• To add or edit information in your profile, click on the "Edit Honors Profile" button. Initially, it will be on the left just below the "View" tab. Later, it will appear below any profile information that is displayed on the View screen.
• The "Edit Honors Profile" button takes you to the Edit screen .On the left side of the Edit screen, there will be at least two tabs: Profile and Academics. Each of these two tabs has certain fields that must be filled in properly before the system will allow you to save your Honors Profile for the first time. Each required field is marked with an asterisk.
• There is a "Save" button at the bottom of every tab. Any time you make a change(s) to your Honors Profile, if you want the change(s) to be saved, you must click the "Save" button before logging out of the system.

To fulfill HONS 1000H requirements for network profiles:

To sign up for events:

• After clicking on an event and reviewing details about it, click the "Register" link if you want to register for it.
• When you have filled in all required registration fields, be sure to click "Save."
• You will receive a confirmation email.
