Student Instructions for Submitting an Honors Contract

How honors contracts work:

Both at the beginning and at the end of the semester, your instructor will receive an email with instructions to access and approve your course contract(s).

Within the first two weeks of the new semester, honors students will access the TAMU Portal and enter their contract information. Instructors will receive an email prompt asking them to approve contracts. If the instructor does not receive the email within the first three weeks of the semester, please contact the TAMUG honors chair.

During the last two weeks of the semester, and once the contract has been completed, honors students will again access and update the contract information by accessing the LAUNCH Portal.

Within the same time period, instructors should receive an email prompting them to access and provide final approval for the course contract. If they do not receive this email by the week of final exams, please contact the TAMUG honors chair.
