"How To" Information for Students
 

  • A student interested in the Honors Scholar Program needs credit from the Honors Colloquy, Honors Seminar, and an Honors 299 interdisciplinary project, as well as a minimum of 30 hours of honors options and/or honors courses.
     

  • Any college-level academic transfer course may be enriched with a university-level Honors Option Project with instructor permission. A course is considered college transfer if it will be accepted by a state four-year institution.
     

  • An Honors Option Contract establishing mutually acceptable goals (between student and faculty member) must be completed with copies going to the instructor, the student, and the honors coordinator.  (This is for your own protection.  Should the faculty member forget to give you Honors credit, the only way the Honors Director can help you is IF she has a copy of your completed form, complete with evaluation statement and instructor's second signature.)
     

  • To enroll for an honors option a student must be earning a minimum grade of 3.5 and maintain that grade (or higher) for honors to be recorded on his/her transcript.
     

  • Students will receive transcript recognition of the honors option courses and honors courses they complete even if they do not elect to fulfill all of the requirements to graduate as a Highline Honors Scholar.
