Are you an Honors student looking to get 3 Honors credits this semester? You can turn a class you’re already enrolled in into an Honors class by submitting and completing an Honors contract. For an Honors contract, students typically do a research paper, presentation, or creative project on top of the regular coursework.
Here is the process:
-
Identify the course you’d like to do a project/paper in, and formulate an idea for the paper/project
-
Get creative with the project! Explore your passion!
-
-
Speak with the course Instructor to get their approval for the paper/project
-
Complete the contract form, found here, by Friday, February 13
-
Make sure to only use the instructors @hartford.edu email address
-
Work should be equivalent to ~10-15 written pages
-
Be specific about what you plan to do
-
-
Stay in touch with your instructor to be sure they received and completed the request for approval
-
Work on the contract throughout the semester: It is due the final week of classes; Must receive a B or better in the class
