Evaluation of an Honors Candidacy
HON 491 and 495 are graded CR/NCR. Seminar leaders submit written evaluations with one of the following designations: "No Honors," "Honors," "High Honors," "Highest Honors.î Credits for HON 496 are letter graded by the project adviser.
The Senior Honors Project itself is evaluated with written comments by a committee comprised of the Economics faculty advisor and at least two other faculty with the same range of possible designations as the seminar.
The UH Honors Council reviews the evaluations of the Junior Seminar, the Research course, and the Senior Project as well as the student's GPA and decides the final designation with which the student will graduate: "Honors," "High Honors," or "Highest Honors." This designation appears on a diploma made especially for graduating students. They are also given a special notice in the Commencement Program and a gold cord to wear over their gowns.
The Economics department will also provide a separate documentation noting the student graduated with Honors in Economics with the appropriate designation.
