The Honors Transfer Program (HTP) at Cañada College is designed to support curious, highly motivated students, and is meant to better prepare them for university work. To be a member of the HTP, students must apply online and meet eligibility requirements. All Honors courses are open to HTP members and non-members. Students enrolling in Honors sections will be required to do Honors-level work. In addition to Honors designated courses, students may also earn Honors credit by completing an Honors Contract in a non-Honors course. More details are on the program website canadacollege.edu/honorsprogram/contract-seminar.php.

To graduate from the program, students must complete 15 units of Honors-level course work, abide by all aspects of the college Academic Integrity Policy, and achieve a GPA of 3.3 or higher in their transfer courses. Program graduates receive special recognition on their transcripts, diplomas, and at graduation. Students may also be eligible for special scholarships and priority transfer agreements to four-year colleges and universities.
