Overview
Applying graduate-level coursework towards your Interdisciplinary Honors requirements
Students may take four- or five-credit graduate-level (500-level or above) courses (with 50 people or less) to earn Interdisciplinary Honors credit, by submitting the Graduate-level Honors credit form prior to the deadline for the quarter. Graduate courses will ONLY count in the “Additional Any” category of the curriculum (a maximum of 3 out of 5 of your additional any courses can be satisfied through any combination of our Honors by Contract options).
This option and the form linked above are specific to Interdisciplinary Honors. Departmental Honors policies surrounding graduate-level coursework vary major to major, because of this, you will need to contact your Departmental Honors Adviser directly after reviewing their Departmental Honors webpage for information and guidelines about what courses may be appropriate for Departmental Honors credit.
Joint-listed graduate+undergraduate courses
Some graduate-level courses are jointly listed with undergraduate (4xx and below) courses; students may enroll using either course number. However, we recommend registering for the graduate-level (5xx) course when possible, as it does not require your professor to approve your application or verify that you completed the graduate level coursework at the end of the quarter. Students must complete and submit the Graduate-level Honors credit form regardless of whether they register for the 5xx course number or the jointly listed undergraduate (4xx or below) course.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is X course eligible?
All 500 level courses are eligible to receive Honors credit. Undergraduate courses that are considered electives for various graduate programs may not be applied toward this requirement. Please contact an Honors adviser in advance of submitting the form if you have questions about whether the graduate course you are considering is eligible.
How do I register for a graduate-level course?
Approval to register for 500 level coursework is up to the discretion of the professor. Once you identify a 500 level course that is eligible for graduate level coursework credit, you will need to reach out to the professor directly for permission to enroll in their course.
My graduate-level course still isn’t showing up as Honors on my transcript, what gives?
Your transcript and degree audit should be updated by the Friday following the final grading deadline of the quarter. If by this date the course is still not applying correctly to your Honors Additional Any category, or appearing with an “H” on your transcript, please email uwhonors@uw.edu.
