Honors Contract Proposal

Honors Contracts provide students the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors on independent projects in courses they are enrolled in to develop special skills and gain in-depth knowledge related to the course. 

The first section of the Honors Contract proposal needs to be completed by the student. The next section should be completed by the instructor in collaboration with the student. After the Honors Contract submission deadline, the contract will be assigned to a faculty reviewer. The faculty reviewer will either approve the contract or request revisions. The Honors College will keep everyone informed as to the status of the contract.

For approved contracts, the Honors College will contact the instructor at the end of the semester asking whether the student successfully completed the Honors Contract. Upon successful completion of the contract, the course will be designated as “Honors” on the student’s transcript.
