DEFINITIONS:
CORE COURSES - Classes that are usually 30-60 students will be reduced to around 20-25 students. Honors students receive priority in the classes although if there are spots available, the professor may add students not enrolled in the Honors Program. The advantage of a core course is that students are able to work more closely with the professor, to collaborate with fellow Honors students, and to engage in more advanced study than in a non-Honors course.
COHORT COURSES - Students enroll in regular courses, or they enroll directly into the honors cohort sections if they are already active honors students with permission to enroll in honors courses. Students may choose to participate in the honors cohort section of the course ONLY if one is being offered for the course. Students complete all extra work (either collaboratively or individually depending on the professor's instructions) such as a research paper, a creative project, a presentation, fieldwork, and so forth. Preferrably, a class should have 3 or more Honors students in order to qualify as a cohort; however, exceptions will be made.
The advantage of a cohort is that students are able to pursue advanced study in a particular discipline, to meet other Honors students, and to work more closely with the professor. A wide range of cohort courses are offered to allow flexibility in students' schedules.
To receive Honors credit for an Honors cohort, students must (1) add the honors cohort section by the end of the fourth week of classes, (2) have a printed document, such as a cohort contract or section of the regular course syllabus that indicates what is required for honors students; and (3) complete the additional required work for the course.
You may only take classes for Honors credit that are listed on the offered courses. ALSO, YOU MAY NOT DROP THE HONORS COURSE AND RE-ENROLL IN THE REGULAR SECTION IF AT THE END OF THE QUARTER, YOU ARE NOT EARNING THE GRADE YOU WISH. ONCE IN THE HONORS COHORT, YOU MUST REMAIN THERE FOR THE WHOLE QUARTER.
Successful completion of the additional work will earn students an Honors designation for the course. Failure to complete the additional work will result in a lowering of the student's overall grade. A student receiving an "A" in an Honors cohort will receive 4.0 points for it not 5.0, a "B" will receive 3.0 point,s not 4.0 and so forth.
Example: A student enrolls in Sociology 1. The professor announces that an Honors cohort is available for the course. Students sign up for the cohort and do additional work. The course will appear on the student's transcript later in the quarter as "Sociology 1 - Honors."
