What extra courses do I need to take as a James Scholar in engineering? (UIUC)

I’ll be a freshman at UIUC this fall. Do I need to register for any extra honors classes? What kind of classes are available? So far I’ve only seen advanced level honors project or seminar classes and I don’t know if that can be taken in the first year. Not sure how HCLA works. (Major - mechanical engineering)

Also, is it possible to take consecutive classes at Digital Computer Laboratory and Altgeld Hall? I have a 10 minute gap between the classes and Google Maps shows that it takes approximately 7 minutes to walk between the two buildings :stuck_out_tongue:
Will it be possible to switch between classes that fast?

This is probably a better question for the UIUC forum. However, I can say that when I was an undergraduate, I am pretty sure I had a back-to-back class at DCL and Altgeld once and it was doable. That wasn’t even the farthest 10 minute walk I had in my time there.

I don’t remember the James Scholars rules. You’d be better off in the other forum and looking at the school’s website for that information.

Thank you, I’ll post again in the UIUC forum!
