To be eligible for the CRC Honors Certificate, a student must complete 15 units of Honors-approved coursework. Two sorts of coursework count as Honors-approved for this purpose: 

• Honors Coursework
  • CRC honors coursework
  • Other Los Rios honors coursework (ARC, FLC, and SCC honors courses)
• 400s level STEM coursework from any of the Los Rios colleges (CRC, ARC, FLC, or SCC)

See a list of CRC honors courses (i.e., CRC honors coursework).

There is no maximum to the number of units from CRC honors courses a student may apply towards the satisfaction of the 15-unit Honors Certificate requirement. (All 15 units could be from CRC Honors courses.) However, a minimum of 9 of the 15 units must be earned by successfully completing honors courses at Cosumnes River College.

There is a maximum to the number of ARC, FLC, and SCC honors units a student may apply towards the certificate. A student may apply no more than 6 units from ARC, FLC, and SCC honors to the completion of the certificate requirements.

There is a maximum to the number of 400s level STEM units a student may apply towards the certificate. A student may apply the units from no more than one 400s level STEM course towards the satisfaction of the 15-unit Honors Certificate requirement. There is no minimum number of 400s level STEM course units a student must apply towards the certificate. A student can earn the certificate without completing any 400s level STEM courses.

There is a combined maximum of 6 units from a 400s level STEM course and ARC, FLC, and SCC honors units a student may apply towards the certificate. Again, a minimum of 9 of the 15 units must be from CRC Honors courses.
