Honors Contracts
An honors contract is intended to establish a mentor relationship between a student and course instructor who, together, agree on what assignments will be completed by the student in order to receive honors credit for a regular course. The student completes regular course requirements as well as the assignments designated in the honors contract.
Honors contracts may be arranged in any academic or professional course listed in the regular class schedule, provided that the course has a theoretical foundation and that the course is not regularly offered in the Honors Education schedule. Ideally, the assignments are individualized to match the student’s particular interests, talents, or career goals.
Honors contracts are to be arranged during the pre-enrollment period and must be approved by the Division Dean and Director of Honors Education.
