*A "dedicated" Honors section of a course is a section of a multi-section course reserved for Honors students. A "designated" Honors course is a course that a student may take for Honors credit by requesting permission to do so from the faculty member teaching the course and by arranging distinctive course requirements with the faculty member teaching the course. To designate a course for Honors, the student and faculty member work collaboratively to develop an Honors Learning Contract.
