Once all steps are completed and your proposal has been approved, you will be registered into the Honors section of the course. <strong>It is strongly recommended that you start this process the semester before you plan to take an Honors course.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Determine which course you would like to take for Honors credit, then register for this course.<\/strong> The course must already be in the class schedule for the desired semester, but it cannot be either an independent study or an internship. To take a course for Honors credit, you need to design and complete an Honors Project that extends beyond the scope or depth of material already in the course syllabus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact the course instructor to determine whether they are willing to sponsor your Honors Project for this course.<\/strong> The course instructor must agree to supervise your Honors Project in order for you to take their course for Honors credit. Some courses will not have an instructor assigned to them until the semester starts, so you may have to wait until the first day of class to start this step.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write your Honors Course Proposal with the instructor.<\/strong> This Proposal details the Honors Project you will pursue and specifies a timeline for its completion, including meetings with the instructor. Refer to the Honors Scholar Program website for information on what qualifies as an Honors Project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Submit your completed Proposal and a copy of the course syllabus to the Honors Program Coordinator no later than two weeks into the semester.<\/strong> The Faculty Honors Committee will review your Proposal. If they have questions or concerns, they will contact you and the instructor to seek clarification or to make suggestions. Once they approve your Proposal, they will forward it to the appropriate Dean\u2019s office. The Honors section of the course will then be created in GCC\u2019s registration system and you will be registered for it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Check your myGCC account to verify that the Honors section of the course has been added to your schedule.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Any GCC college-level credit course may be taken for Honors credit, provided that the instructor of that course allows this option. To take a course for honors credit, a student must create an Honors Project Proposal approved by the course instructor and by the members of the Honors Committee. This Proposal must be submitted to the Honors Committee no later than two weeks after the course begins, although it is strongly recommended that this Proposal be worked out and submitted before the semester begins. <strong>Also, a student must be admitted to the Honors Program before they are allowed to submit an Honors Project Proposal.<\/strong> This Proposal details the scope of the Honors Project the student will pursue and specifies a timeline for its completion, including meetings with the instructor.<\/p>\n<p>An Honors Project can take many forms, but it must extend the student\u2019s learning beyond the material already on the course syllabus. This might mean that a student examines a course topic in greater depth or explores more advanced topics beyond the scope of the course. Examples of Honors Projects include research papers, independent research, literature reviews, oral presentation of academic work publicly or in class, field work, art projects, designing and leading learning activities in class, and performances. Honors Projects must include clearly defined learning objectives and a provisional timeline or plan for meeting these. Also, a Project must focus on one or more of the following features: inquiry, writing, critical thinking, oral presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Once approved, the student must complete the Honors Project by the end of the semester in order to receive honors credit for the course. Unlike in other courses, grades of IN (incomplete) are not available for an Honors Project. Furthermore, to receive Honors credit for the course, the student must earn a minimum of a B in the course itself.<\/p>\n<p>Up until the last day to withdraw from the course with no record, the student may withdraw their Honors Proposal and pursue the course for regular credit. If the student does not complete the Honors Project by the end of the semester, or does not receive a minimum grade of B for the course, no Honors credit will be awarded for the course, and instead, regular credit will be awarded in accordance with GCC grading policies.<\/p>\n<p>Courses taken for Honors credit in this way are notated on student transcripts with an \u201cH\u201d added to the course number, e.g., ENG 112H.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deadline to submit an honors proposal is<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":982,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-1968","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","floatton-article"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
