Undergraduate Catalog 2023-2024

Requirements

  • Maintain a 3.3 or higher institutional GPA. A student whose institutional GPA falls below a 3.3 will be placed on one semester of Honors academic probation. A probationary student whose GPA rises to 3.3 or higher will return to good standing. A probationary student whose GPA rises, but does not get to 3.3, will be placed on another semester of Honors academic probation. If a student’s institutional GPA has not improved at the end of a probationary semester, then the student will be removed from the Honors College with the option to submit a written appeal for reinstatement.*

  • Complete at least 18 hours of Honors course credit (Honors courses or Honors Options) to graduate with Honors.

  • Remain in good standing with the college - take at least one Honors course or Honors Option each year until the 18-hour requirement is met.

  • Be a member of Eta Sigma Alpha (the Honors Student Association).

  • Complete an exit survey prior to graduation.

*The appeal letter must include a plan for improvement. Appeals will be considered by an Honors Faculty Council appeals subcommittee. At its discretion, the Honors Faculty Council appeals subcommittee may request a hearing with the student. If the institutional GPA of a readmitted student does not improve by the end of the probationary semester following reinstatement, then the student will be removed from the Honors College and no subsequent appeal will be allowed.
