Honors Contract Proposal Guidelines
Your Honors Contract Proposal identifies an independent project that you will pursue under faculty
mentorship that relates to an upper division course previously or currently enrolled; lower division
work must be pre-approved by your UHP advisor and attached to a UHP course or class limited to
thirty students. Honors contract work is not an extension of any course assignment.
Steps: Type and complete the contract proposal in consultation with your faculty mentor. Email the
signed document to UHPproposals@ucdavis.edu by the last day of instruction proceeding your
project term. Approved contracts will be issued a Course Reference Number (CRN) for registration
prior to the start of the new quarter. Enroll in the authorized course no later than the fifth term day.
