Planning for the HNR 300 Requirement

The HNR 300 requirement aims to help Honors students build practical knowledge and skills in community engagement, leadership, and cultural understanding—attributes that characterize strong job and grad-school applicants as well as fully engaged citizens. The requirement may be satisfied in 1-, 2-, or 3-credit increments, and it need not be completed in a single semester or year. All students need a total of three credits prior to graduation. Three options for fulfilling the requirement are described below.

Unless otherwise stated, all students must submit a brief proposal indicating how they wish to satisfy their HNR 300 requirement. You will not be able to register for HNR 300 without submitting a proposal and receiving a permit. Proposals are due April 15 for activities to be completed in Spring/Summer, August 15 for activities to be completed in Fall, and December 15 for activities to be completed in Winter.

Students may earn no more than 3 credits total of HNR 300.

You may propose a semester-long activity and register for HNR 300, either as a one-, two-, or three-credit course.

You may propose a course substitution for HNR 300.

You may substitute any course completed during a Study Abroad/Away for HNR 300.
