Honors Contract Courses

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. 

In general, honors contracts allow the student to go beyond the material of the regular course and to produce more sophisticated work. A student may, for example, delve more deeply into methodology, structure, theory, or application; perform additional or alternative research; develop a service project; or present findings in some format.

Honors Contracts are due by the Registrar's H (Honors) grade mode deadline. Please see the Registrar's Spring 2023 Drop/Add Dates here: DROP / ADD DATES

The deadline to add H Grade mode for full-semester courses is Monday, January 23. Late submissions will not be accepted
