Honors Badging

Showcase your excellence. Build your future.

Honors badges are digital credentials that recognize students’ skills and activities based on the UNO Honors Program learning outcomes and campus engagement. In addition to building great skills, badges enahnce resumes, graduate/professional school applications, and socials (e.g. LinkedIn).

There are six Honors badges. Five badges align with Honors Program learning outcomes. The sixth badge is awarded for being engaged with the Honors Program or with the UNO campus community.

  1. Honors Creative Thinker Badge
  2. Honors Meaningful Thinker Badge
  3. Honors Fluid Thinker Badge
  4. Honors Critical Thinker Badge
  5. Honors Strategic Thinker Badge
  6. Honors Engaged Thinker Badge

Students who earn all six badges will also earn one Honors credit and an Honors Excellence Badge.

Students can earn up to six Honors credits through badging. Honors badges will not result in academic credit. It will only count towards the total number of Honors credits students need to earn.

All the work students undertake to earn badges will be done through Canvas.

Learning Outcome Badges

Honors students will earn an Honors badge aligned with a student learning outcome if, in any for-credit, non-Honors course they demonstrate that they have fulfilled one or more of the Honors Program learning outcomes.

To earn a badge aligned with any of the five Honors Program learning outcomes, students should submit a 300–500-word reflection essay describing how one or two assignments (worth 20% or more of students’ total grade in a class in which students earned a B or higher) fulfilled the Honors Program learning outcome.

Engaged Thinker Badge

To earn an Honors Engaged Thinker Badge, students must accumulate four Honors Campus Engagement Token. Students earn one Honors Campus Engagement Token by doing one of the following:

  1. Attend an event sponsored by the Honors Program.
  2. Attend an event sponsored by the Honors Student Association (HSA).
  3. Be actively involved with the Honors Program (e.g. serving as an Honors Student Association executive).
  4. Be actively and significantly involved with the UNO campus community.
