Video Tutorial

The video below shows you how to use the main forms on this page.  It explains the 4 steps needed to join the program, create your first honors contract, and get honors credit for your course.

Important details to know:

• You must be a member of the Honors Transfer Program in order to take a course for Honors credit. You may want to speak with your instructor first to make sure you are interested in doing the extra work before completing your Honors Contract Proposal. You should do this as early in the term as possible.
• If your application is approved, you will be added to the e-mail list and you will get the honors program announcements.
• Even if you complete your contract, you still need to earn an A or B in the related course in order to get credit for the honors contract and for the honors credit to apply to your course.
