Registering for Honors Courses

Courses Listed As Available for Honors (The list found on p. 9 of the quarterly bulletin)
All Honors courses are now listed in the bulletin as “This course is available for honors.” This means that the faculty person teaching the course has agreed to teach the course for honors. There are three simple steps a Student may take to be in one of these Honors courses:

1. register for the course;
2. bring a copy of the fee bill listing the course to the Honors or an academic counselors office;
3. complete & sign the Honors Registration Eligibility Form.

H1 Sections
H1 section numbers now designate that this is an honors only course. This means that all the students registered for the course are honors students. Those departments, usually English and Psychology, are asking that the students have recommendations from instructors before they are given permission to register for the course. These courses require permission from either an academic counselor or Honors Program Director.

Courses not Listed as Available for Honors
For any courses not listed as available for honors the student will need to contact the instructor to see if the instructor is willing to do an honors contract. Once the student has an honors contract and is registered for that course, the Honors Registration Eligibility Form can be completed in the Honors office (room 10-339). A student can successfully register for courses not officially listed as available for honors once they are registered for the course and the completed, signed and approved honors contract is filed with the Honors director. In other words, the instructor has to agree to do an honors contract with a student first and then the student can apply for Honors credit to be added to his transcript if he earns a final grade of A or B.
