Should I select Honors for Course Work in AMCAS?

[TheEugenius]

Hello,

I am in a Canadian university (McMaster University) and I am doing a program called Honours Life Sciences (B.Sc). My transcript does not say honours/honors beside the courses, but does mention the word at the top of the page. Here is a picture of the front page of my transcript from my first year:

Do I select honors for any of these courses? I am not sure if Canadian schools even have honors courses, but I am taking an honors program so I am not sure what the selection should be.

Thank you

I forgot to add that I entered the honors program after my first year (so I was in it second year onward).

Here is a snapshot of the transcript at that point:

No, you would not designate those classes as Honors as the transcript doesn't have the designation with the class.

The “Honour Award” on your transcript looks like a scholarship you received from the school, but your classes thus far are on the transcript are not honours classes. If you ever took an honours course, it would say something like “HON” in front of the course name.
