UC Approved Honors Level on application

Is it OK to select “HL” for the honor code even though we are OOS? I’m hoping this will help the AO notice that my D took honors level courses, but at the same time I don’t want to raise a red flag.

btw, HL designates UC Approved Honors Level.

Thanks!

Honors level classes are not recognized by the UC’s for OOS applicants. Only AP and IB classes will be considered for the Honors points in the GPA calculation regardless of how the course is listed on your transcript.

OK, so it’s best to list them as “NH” no honors?

Correct.
