Honors courses and conversions are intended to challenge and inspire. Successful completion of Honors courses or conversion projects is recognized on your transcript as a permanent record of your achievement.

• For every Honors course or conversion that you complete with a B- or above course grade, your transcript will indicate this with the notation “Honors credit” under the course listing (about 3-4 weeks after the end of the semester).
• How do you know if a course is an Honors course? Undergraduate Honors courses are listed with “Honors” in the Grading section of the class detail in the Student Admin system.
• The Honors Program also publishes lists of Honors courses each semester. Find the most recent course list. Honors courses are not weighted differently in the calculation of grade point average.

When you use the conversion process to "convert" a non-Honors course to Honors, there are several things you must do to receive Honors credit.

• Before you begin your conversion project, you must complete the Honors Course Conversion Form by the third week of the semester.
• You must complete the conversion project to the satisfaction of your instructor and submit it in a timely fashion.
• Even if you get high marks for the course itself, you may not get Honors credit unless you complete all the conversion work outlined in your Honors Course Conversion Form and complete confirmation step in Kuali (which triggers and email requesting final approval of the work from the instructor). Check your Action List in Kuali at the end of the semester.
• Your instructor then needs to review your conversion project and verify to the Honors Program through the Kuali system that you have successfully completed the project.
• You also need to earn at least a B- in the course itself.

• There will be a lag time between your completion of the Honors course or conversion project and the notation appearing on your transcript.
• You should expect the notation to appear between 3 and 4 weeks following the end of the semester in which you earned the Honors credit.
• If you require expedited postings, email your request to the Honors office (include your name, student admin number, and course information).
• Graduate courses will not be coded with “Honors credit” on your transcript. They may be used toward graduation requirements if approved by your Honors advisor on your Honors Final Plan of Study.

• The “Honors Program” notation is listed immediately after your GPA for each semester and will appear on your transcript approximately 3-4 weeks after the end of the semester.
• If you have been placed on Honors notice during the summer GPA review, “Honors Program” will still appear on your transcript.

• If you complete all requirements to graduate as an Honors Scholar, the “Honors Scholar” designation will appear on your transcript in the Degrees Awarded section and just below the confer Date. The “Honors Scholar” notation also appears on your diploma.
• If you complete all requirements to graduate with the University Honors Laureate designation, your transcript and diploma will contain the "Honors Scholar" and "University Honors Laureate" notations on each degree containing an Honors major.
• You will see these notations on your transcript after your degree is conferred.
