Honors contracts allow students to earn Honors credit for non-Honors courses by pursuing more advanced study. This requires an agreement (“contract”) between the student and instructor, and approval from the Honors Program. A contract requires approximately 20 hours of engagement by the student, and 3-5 hours for faculty over the course of a term on a contracted project. 

Any student in the Honors Program who has completed or is concurrently enrolled in courses worth 6 honors credits, may engage in contracts. All full-time faculty may engage in contracts. They are limited to three contracts per term.

No more than one-third (1/3) of a student’s honors-credits may be contract-credits and only engage in one contract per semester.
