Credit toward a student's Honors degree will be granted only for courses in which a final grade of A or B is earned. This policy covers courses contracted for Honors credit, sections of Honors courses designated exclusively for Honors students, and dedicated HONR-prefix courses. Students enrolled in such courses who earn a final grade of C or D can count the courses toward their bachelor's degree if approved by their major department; however, the hours earned will not contribute to the required 24 hours of Honors credit.

Honors students are not permitted to contract the following courses for Honors credit: Developmental and elementary/skills courses (e.g., ENGL 0301 and ENGL 1000-level courses, CSE 1301, 1310, etc.); foreign language courses 1441, 1442, 2313, 2314 and 2315; exercise courses; online courses; and Intersession courses. Contact an Honors advisor if there is a question about a particular course not listed above.

Honors College students may not enroll in more than nine hours of Honors credit coursework during the fall or spring semesters. If students wish to complete Honors credit contracts during the summer semester, the maximum number of hours that can be earned is six. Students may contract only one course per session.

Students enrolled in a five-year or Fast Track program in which they receive both their Bachelor's and Master's degrees simultaneously, may not use their Master's thesis or other final project to fulfill the Honors College Senior Project requirement.

Beginning with applications for the 2013-2014 academic year, all Honors College scholarship applications will be due on February 15. This policy revision supersedes all previous published scholarship deadlines. If you hold a scholarship that must be renewed for the 2013-2014 academic year, or you wish to apply for a new scholarship, your application must be submitted to the Honors College by February 15, 2013.
