Honors students are able to count graduate courses for Honors course credit. To earn Honors credit, courses that are considered graduate-level must meet the conditions outlined below, and the student must earn a grade of at least a B. Additionally, students must request approval for a graduate-level course to count for Honors by the end of the second week of the participating semester. Approval is not automatic, and retroactive approval cannot be granted.
Graduate-Level Courses
Approval Process For Courses Numbered 500-Level or 400-Level With G suffix
- The course syllabus must identify additional projects/papers/assignments/tests that graduate students are required to complete beyond what undergrads in the course are required to complete. A grading structure difference alone is not sufficient for approval.
- The student must petition to have the course count for HON credit, inform the professor of the petition, be held to the graduate student course criteria and be graded as a graduate student.
- Students must complete the Graduate-Level work proposal in the Honors Canvas page
- Syllabus and professor acknowledgement must be submitted to your Honors advisor, via Canvas, by the end of week 2 of the participating semester.
Approval Process For Courses Numbered 600-Level or Above
Provide a copy of the syllabus to your advisor. A 600-level or above course is a graduate-level course. An exception will be processed allowing this course to count for Honors.
