Honors Honors take the earned grade or a withdrawal. A maximum of two such withdrawals are permissible. This provision does not interfere with the college wide policy allowing withdrawal in any course up to the time when sixty percent of the quarter has elapsed. The progress of Honors students will be reviewed on a quarterly basis. An Honors student having apparent difficulty in maintaining the forementioned standards will be offered counseling and assistance from the Honors office. Retention standards in the Departmental Honors courses are determined by the particular departments. Requirements—There are two Honors designations: Departmental Honors and General Honors. With certain limitations, both designations are available to Honors students graduating with any one of the five degrees offered by Weber State College. Departmental Honors are available in the event a particular department has designed a Departmental Honors Program within its major. Honors students graduating with the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees will find it convenient to qualify for General Honors, but, unless they have graduated in a discipline requiring a major or an area of concentration, they will not be eligible for Departmental Honors. Honors students graduating with the Associate of Applied Science will not ordinarily find it convenient to graduate in General Honors but can readily qualify for Departmental Honors. Honors students graduating with the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees will find it convenient to graduate with both Departmental and General Honors. Honors candidates for Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science will be required to take Senior Project credit for graduation in Departmental Honors and must complete at least ten hours of upper division Honors courses. Students interested in further information should contact the Director of the Honors Program. Departmental Honors—To qualify for Departmental Honors a student must complete at least ten hours from the general Honors curriculum and at least ten hours in Honors courses within his major. In the case of Honors students graduating with the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees the Honors courses within his major must include Senior Project credit. Additional requirements may be made at the determination of the particular major department. In the event a department does not have a course allowing for a Senior Project, a student with de partmental approval may utilize Honors 499 which credit would count as Honors credit within the major. General Honors—To graduate with General Honors a student must complete forty hours of Honors courses. Ten of these hours may include Departmental Honors courses. Sixteen hours may include AP and CLEP credit as defined below. A maximum of 12 hours in Honors 283 and 483 (Directed Readings, Projects, and Research) may be applied towards graduation. The student should consult with the Director of the Honors Program concerning the optional ways below for acquiring Honors credit. AP and CLEP as Honors credit—For each AP course passed at a score of 3 or higher for which credit has been granted at Weber State College, an Honors student may waive 4 hours of the General Honors requirement up to a maximum total of 12 hours. For each CLEP general examination passed at a score of 525 or higher for which credit has been given at Weber State College, an Honors student may waive 4 hours of the General Honors requirement up to a maximum total of 12 hours.
