New Honors Option Agreement Process!

The Honors Option agreement has been changed to a remote friendly format. Student and faculty now submit separate forms which don't require an in person meeting. Honors Option Agreements allow a student to make a non-Honors course into one. Student and faculty work together to build the Honors content.
