Pre-existing Credit Policy
Things don't turn up in this world until somebody turns them up.

Pre-existing Credit Policy
Credit for any of these courses must be received prior to being accepted into the Honors Program. Option Two track students must receive credit prior to the summer in which they were accepted into the Honors Program (e.g.. prior to Summer 2008 for Fall 2008 entry). Please review changes to the curriculum tracks for Fall 2007. Honors Curriculum
HONR 1202, HONR 3281, HONR 4181
All students must take these courses irrespective of whether they have had similar courses in another Honors Program.
HONR 1302
Students who have pre-existing credit for ENG 1302 will still be required to take HONR 1302.
HONR 2301, Great Books One (3 hours)
Honors Directors view this course and HONR 2302 as the pinnacle of Honors study. Students in the Honors Program are
therefore required to take HONR 2301 even if they have credit for a sophomore literature course (which HONR 2301 would
satisfy the requirement for). Additionally, most students in the College of Liberal and Fine Arts (CLFA) may still take
HONR 2301 to satisfy the humanities requirement in their major.
HONR 2302, Great Books Two (3 hours)
Students who have credit for a performing arts course will be required to take HONR 2302 since a suitable course
substitution for an Honors performing arts course is not available.
GOVT 2301/HIST 1301
Students who have credit in either of these courses will still be required to take an Honors course in these disciplines,
most likely by contract. Credit for these courses must be received prior to the summer of the year in which they matriculate
into Angelo State University.
HONORS LAB SCIENCE COURSE
Students must take a 4-hour lab science course for Honors credit. The four possible courses are BIO 1480, CHEM 1411,
CHEM 1412 and GEO 1402 (by contract). It is not anticipated that incoming freshman students would have the 8 hours of pre-existing credit needed to
satisfy the core curriculum requirement for any undergraduate degree received in Texas.
Please read the explanation of our lab science requirement.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS
In order for transfer students to receive an Honors designation on their transcript, they must satisfy the entry requirements
for Honors transfer students and complete at least 15 hours of Honors credit at Angelo State University.
