To register for an honors project, students should:

• print and fill in the request form,
• obtain the project director's signature on the form,
• submit the completed request form to the Office of the Registrar

• Completed request forms are accepted no earlier than the first day of Round 1 registration and no later than the last day of Add/Drop II of course registration.
• A separate form should be submitted for each semester of an Honors Project.
  • Forms should be submitted each semester even if you are continuing to work with a project director for a second, consecutive semester.
• Because separate course sections must be created as needed for each project director, this is the only part of course registration that is handled outside of Polaris.
• Project directors have the option to "sign-off" on your project via email, and there is an area of the form where they should indicate this choice.
• If a student, in consultation with the department, decides to pursue an Honors Project, the course number will be 4050-4079.
  • If the department ultimately decides that the project does not meet the standard for honors, the course number will be changed to 4000-4028 for the one or two semesters of work.
• Please allow 2-3 weeks after submitting the completed form to the Office of the Registrar for the course to appear under the "My Courses" section of Polaris.
• Reference the Award of Honors in the Academic Handbook for more information.
