Each semester, we offer a variety of 1-hour short-format Honors colloquia. These classes, taught by professors in every discipline, cover fun and engaging topics. Honors colloquia are typically very interactive and are often discussion-based experiences. Each Honors colloquium is limited to 18 students. All Honors students are required to complete two of these colloquia during their time at ACU to graduate with Honors. Students are eligible to register for these courses once they complete 30 hours.<\/p>\n
The colloquia offered by the Honors College are opportunities for ACU professors to teach within their areas of research specialization as well as other areas of interest and engage with the University\u2019s top undergraduate students in an intimate seminar setting. In November, the Honors College issues a call for colloquium proposals for the upcoming academic year.<\/p>\n

While these partnerships are vital, we do not offer enough sections to meet demand; thus, the Honors College accepts contracts for GenEd courses. Additionally, students continue to use contracts in their majors to design projects that facilitate deeper learning. <\/span>Honors Contracts allow students to complete either an additional or replacement project related to the content of the specific course in order to earn Honors credit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some professors have a project in mind before the semester starts that will allow Honors students to earn Honors credit. Other professors rely on the interests and talents of the student to determine the project parameters. Both are legitimate options and are encouraged by the Honors College.<\/span><\/p>\n All Honors Contracts fall into two categories: <\/span>non-mentored <\/b>or<\/span> mentored<\/b><\/p>\n Non-Mentored Contracts<\/b> Mentored Contracts<\/b> Mentored Contract Compensation Once the student and professor have signed the Honors Contract, the Honors College reviews the details to ensure the academic standards of the Honors College are met, and the parameters of the project are communicated clearly between the student and the professor.<\/span><\/p>\n At the end of the semester, the Honors College will reach out to all professors involved in an Honors Contract to confirm whether or not the student completed the project to their satisfaction. The student will only be given Honors Credit for the course with the professor’s approval.<\/span><\/p>\n The Honors College has transitioned to using electronic paperwork for all Honors Contracts, among other paperwork.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Below is a description of how the Honors Contract process should go:<\/span><\/p>\n End of Week 3 <\/b>\u2013 All Honors Contracts will need to be completed and signed by both student and professor.<\/span><\/p>\n End of Week 4 <\/b>\u2013 The Honors College will send approval of all Honors Contracts submitted.<\/span><\/p>\n End of Week 5 <\/b>\u2013 All Honors Contracts that have not been completed by the student or professor will be canceled.<\/span><\/p>\n The reason for these early deadlines is to ensure that the student understands the project parameters and has ample time to complete the project before the end of the semester.<\/span><\/p>\n *Due to the quick deadlines for Honors Contract, it is important that both student and professor watch their email for any correspondence regarding Honors Contracts.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″

Overview<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
<\/span>The non-mentored contracts involve a project where the student is left to complete the project completely on their own. They turn in the finished project by the agreed-upon deadline. As the professor, you will determine if the project is worthy of earning Honors credit. Non-Mentored Contracts are not compensated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>The mentored projects require more significant investment on the part of the professor. In order to be considered a mentored contract by the Honors College, the professor should meet with the student at least three times during the semester to help guide the student through the project. Each of these meetings needs to have a clear objective in order for the student to understand what is expected of them by each point in the semester regarding the project.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/strong>As a token of our appreciation for the increased investment for a professor to do a mentored Honors Contract, the Honors College awards Professional Development funds for each mentored contract. These funds must be used within one year of their issue. The Honors College would like to help faculty become better teachers by offering PD funds for resources that develop their skills, knowledge, and expertise as a teacher at ACU. Faculty may use their PD fund vouchers to be reimbursed for any aspect of professional development, including conference expenses, teaching resources, iPhone\/iPad equipment and software, and books.\u00a0 The current rate of payment for mentored Honors Contracts are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n
