The Cañada College Honors Transfer Program (HTP) offers Honors courses and contracts for all curious and motivated students. Honors courses and contracts allow students to pursue topics of interest in more breadth and depth than regular classes and to better prepare for university level work. Students enrolling in Honors sections will be required to do Honors-level work. Students may earn Honors credit by completing an Honors contract in a non-Honors course. All students are welcome to enroll in Honors courses or to do Honors contracts. More details are on the program website: canadacollege.edu/honorsprogram/contract-seminar.php.

HTP members are eligible for specialized counseling, priority registration, and to apply to present at Honors conferences and submit their work to be considered in Honors publications. They have the opportunity to engage in the Honors online community and in person events.

HTP graduates get Honors notation on their transcripts and special recognition at graduation. They are eligible for special scholarship and priority transfer agreements to four-year colleges and universities.
