The availability of an Honors Option in a specific course is always dependent on the willingness of a faculty member to supervise the work. It is essential to obtain the agreement of the instructor early in the semester and before undertaking an H-Option. Some units may require students to earn a specific grade in their courses in addition to meeting the requirements of the Honors Option.
For a detailed listing of authorized courses and restrictions, see Honors Option Authorization.
