The Honors Contract

Junior and senior Honors students are eligible to engage in an Honors Contract, which offers students a way to pursue an Honors project of their own design within a regular course. The option is limited to upper-level (200+) courses in students' major field(s) of study (the single exception is the Creative Writing minor, in which students may undertake an Honors Contract). Junior and senior Honors students may pursue up to two Honors Contracts each academic year. Please see the Information/FAQ sheet for students and faculty for additional details, including the provisions for grading and recording Honors Contract work.

If you are interested in an Honors Contract, you should speak with your professors and work with them to design a mutually agreeable contract project. Honors Contract proposals for the Fall 2008 semester are due in the Honors office by 5:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 2 . Please use the proposal form below. The Honors office will contact you by September 9, 2008 to let you know whether or not your Honors Contract proposal has been approved.

If you have questions, please contact Jason Clemmons in the Honors office (843-7756 or jclem@email.unc.edu).
