Honors Contracts
Due this Fri. Jan. 22 at 5pm
An honors contract is an agreement between an undergraduate student and a faculty instructor that allows the student to turn a standard course into an honors course. It provides the opportunity to complete honors assignments in a "regular" course and use the hours towards fulfilling honors college curriculum requirements. Honors contract work is part of the course grade. Honors contract proposals are submitted to the disciplinary college which is offering the course and are due by 5pm on January 22nd.
For more information including the honors contract proposal form, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), please visit our honors contract page.
