1. Community College Honors Contracts
“Offers motivated students an opportunity to engage in scholarly work of greater depth, scope, and originality”
Agreed to by student and course instructor. (We believe another can act as mentor, and report details of work to course instructor.)
Requirements: Prior GPA > 3.2, enrolled, 15-20% of course grade,
Students committed once contract accepted by Admissions & Records (around Week 4-5). Cannot get credit for same work elsewhere!
Official transcript shows “H” or “Honors” next to course grade – recognized by 4-year schools 
Can present results at Honors Transfer Council Conference (HTCC), April at UC Irvine.
Most colleges have an Honors Coordinator – get info from them! Some have Honors clubs that can advertise your project.
