ALL ABOUT HONORS CONVERSIONS

Did you convert a class? Keep in mind the following information...
Conversions are approved at the end of the semester when students have finished all the work outlined in their conversion agreement, the work has been evaluated and a B- or above has been earned in the course.  The actual "Honors Credit" notation on transcripts may not appear until 2-4 weeks after grades have been submitted depending on volume and processing time.
