Program Completion

You've worked hard! You deserve recognition for all that hard work! In order to receive your honors designation, you must do the following:

The Honors Program staff will send a certification form to you which you must complete and submit to our office by the designated deadline. You’ll need to document that you’ve taken 32 credits of Honors coursework, that you have met departmental Honors requirements where appropriate, and that you have your senior thesis well in hand.

After your final transcript has been checked to ensure that you have met prescribed honors requirements, your name will be sent to the Registrar's Office, They will then have the appropriate honors designation affixed to your transcript and diploma. Congratulations on your achievement!

Requirement for Maintaining Contact with the Honors Program Office

We want to get to know you! We ask that you visit the Honors Program Office at least once each semester during your matriculation. At that time, we ask that you update us regarding your plans for completion of the program. Stopping by the office to register for an honors course also counts as a semester visit.

Eligible non-honors program students (G.P.A > 3.2) wishing to enroll in honors general education courses should contact the Honors Program staff after the registration period.

Process for Designating Coursework "honors":

Follow this procedure if you make a course “honors" and want it to show up on your transcript:

  1. You must submit a “Change of Honors Designation” form, approved and signed by the professor of the course, to the Registrar’s Office by the add deadline, the third Friday of the semester.
  2. You may access this form in the “Time and Room Schedule”, both paper copy and on-line, or the Honors Program Office.
  3. Make sure that you and the professor are in agreement as to what you must do in order to make the course “honors” at the beginning of the course.
  4. Only one of your four honors general education courses may be designated as honors. (through the use of an “honors designation form”)
