Honors Degree: Review the requirements and FAQs for the Honors Degree.
Honors Course Expectations: 3 credits of Honors coursework is required each academic year. Please review the Honors Degree requirements for your major which are listed in the UD Catalog. While taking one honors course an academic year keeps you eligible to remain in honors, you will need to enroll in more than one honors course per academic year to earn the Honors Degree or the Honors Degree with Distinction.
Honors Section Numbers: Honors classes are denoted by 080-089 section numbers. You can confirm that the course is Honors by clicking on the course number in the Courses Search. The note should say “This is an Honors section/course.”
Course Restrictions: Some Honors courses may have additional restrictions (such as “Open to Majors Only” or “Open to Honors Freshmen and Sophomores Only,” etc.). These restrictions appear in the Honors Course Book and may also appear under “Notes” in the Courses Search. If you believe you meet the requirements but are unable to enroll, complete the Honors Course Request Form. Do not contact faculty or department offices to enroll in Honors courses which are full or otherwise restricted. If the course you want is full, you will have to wait for a seat to become available in order to add the course. We do not over-enroll Honors courses. Pre-requisites listed in the catalog or on the Courses Search will be absolute restrictions in UDSIS. In other words, students will not be able to enroll themselves in courses without the published pre-requisite. If you are currently enrolled in the pre-requisite, UDSIS will assume successful completion of the course during the initial enrollment period. If you do not successfully complete the pre-requisite, you will lose your enrollment after grades are posted.
