Section Name
Use ’H’ as the third character in the section number (i.e. CRH01). The third character of a section number indicates the mode of delivery. Not to be confused with Hybrid sections that have the ‘H’ designation as the 6th, or last character, of the number (i.e. CRF02H).
Delivery Method
Honors sections should be built with a Delivery Method (found at the top of the section template in the General Information area) of UCLEC.
Start/End Dates
The start and end dates of the Honors section should be kept as the term start and end dates.
Instructional Method
LEC automatically populates as the instrucational method. No additional Instructional Methods need added for an Honors section.
Instructors
Add the instructor and change the load to 0.00. The instructor does not get load for this section, but is paid a prorated amount by the number of students. Directions for paying Honors sections can be found in KIN.
If multiple students bring a Learning Contract for the same instructor, for the same section, more students may be added to that section. However, if students are working with different instructors for the same section, departments will need to create different sections so each instructor has their own slate of students. Possible FERPA violations may come into play if each instructor doesn’t have their own section
Meeting Patterns & Rooms
There is a meeting pattern created for courses that do not meet on a specific day or at a specific time. Click +MEETING PATTERN to select a Meeting Pattern.
You can type “No Days and No Times” in the Filter By Attributes box to quickly find the correct meeting pattern. Click the option to add it to the section.
Be sure your Start and End Date are correct then click SET DETAILS to associate the meeting patterns with the appropriate Instructional Method.
In the Instructional method (Set Details) box, select LEC. Then click CLOSE.
