Students who complete an Honors by Contract course have the designation on their transcript. After completing four Honors by Contract courses with an overall GPA of 3.5 or above, students graduate from Ocean County College as Honors Students. The student\u2019s transcript, diploma, and commencement program will note this achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All students with a GPA of 2.5 or above, or equivalent, from high school, other higher educational institutions, or Ocean County College are eligible to enroll in the Honors by Contract courses. Faculty members who teach college-level courses, i.e., 100 level and above, may participate in the Program, STSC courses are not eligible. Students may only enroll in two Honors by Contract courses per semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who participate in Honors by Contract have an opportunity to win monetary award\u200bs for their outstanding work. In addition, students \u200bwho meet \u200bHonors Graduation \u200brequirement\u200bs are eligible for scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the project and course are successfully completed, that course will be designated as an \u201cHonors\u201d course on the student\u2019s official transcript. So simply click on the application link below to begin your Honors by Contract journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div
