Program Director: John Paden
Contact Information: 804-333-6776 or jpaden@rcc.vccs.edu
RCC’s Honors Program is designed to provide an enriched academic experience that will enhance a student’s individual development. Through this program, a student will be able to earn special recognition for achievement based on an advanced level of learning. Courses in which the student is regularly enrolled may be converted to an Honors-designated course upon the successful completion of a project for that course.
- Participation is voluntary...both for students and faculty.
- Any student who is interested in the Honors Program must submit an Honors Program application to John Paden no later than September 15th.
- The project designed to earn Honors credit for the student in one of your courses must be a mutually agreeable plan. That is, both the student and you must agree on the potential Honors project. The Honors Contract Proposal must be submitted by September 15th.
- An Honors Program student may designate certain courses for Honors credit only if the professor is willing to participate in the Program and in the particular project.
- A student may also choose to earn an Honors diploma at RCC. Once a student successfully completes three Honors courses, and two one-credit hour Honors seminars (offered each semester), the College will award an Honors diploma to that student.
