An Honors Contract Course is a unique educational experience where (based on need) an Honors Program student may enroll in a regular/traditional course, for which an honors section is unavailable, and, with an instructor’s help, complete additional readings/writings/presentations/etc. in order to obtain honors credit for that non-honors section. These additional “honors assignments” must be agreed upon by the student/instructor/honors director prior to the start of the course – and these items (written down and signed by all parties) represent the Honors Contract.
The Honors Contract Course option is available to Honors Program students as needed to help students who, due to scheduling conflicts, could not otherwise complete the required number of honors courses for Honors Program completion. Honors Contract Course approval is at the sole discretion of the Honors Program Director and participating faculty member.
