In a Spring 2016 agreement among the Honors Board, the General Education Oversight Committee (GEOC), and the University Senate’s Curricula and Courses Committee (Senate C&C), all three groups affirmed that:

• Membership in the Honors Program may serve as a pre-requisite for enrollment in Honors classes, including those that hold general education designations.
• Instructors of Honors courses may issue permission numbers to otherwise qualified students who are not currently in the Honors Program.
• Departments may offer Honors versions of any course, including those with general education designations, at any time.
• Departments should not replace a general education course with an Honors version of the same course. The non-Honors version should be taught at least as often as the Honors version.
