An Honors contract is a signed agreement between a professor and an Honors student in a regular (non-honors) course. The agreement specifies Honors level objectives and tasks to be completed by the student in addition to the objective of the regular course. The guiding principle for an Honors contract is “enrichment, not extra.” In other words, the terms of the Honors contract should be challenging and demanding not by assigning more work, but by exploring and engaging Honors students to meet their Honors Program's goals and learning outcomes from the work that is assigned. Contracts that only require longer papers or extra homework will not be approved.
Prior to exercising the option of an Honors Contract, students must complete a minimum of 6 Honors credit hours or 2 Honors courses, including the Honors Freshman Seminar 100H,
