Judy and Bobby Shackould Honors College

Information - [ Eligibility ]

Eligibility

If you are an entering freshman, a composite score of 27 or above on the ACT (1230 or above on the SAT) AND a 3.75 or higher high school core GPA will grant you admission. Admission to individual courses is determined by subscores and credentials.

For transfer or upper-level students seeking to join, a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.4 is required for admission.

In order to retain full privileges of the Honors College, you must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.4 and enroll in at least one graded, three-hour Honors course per calendar year.

If your cumulative GPA does happen to fall below 3.4, you will lose priority preregistration status and be restricted to taking Honors courses only in the core areas in which you have a GPA of 3.4 or above. For example, if your cumulative GPA is a 3.0 but your GPA in math is still 3.4 or above, then you still can enroll in an Honors math class. Of course, you will be fully reinstated to the Honors College and have all privileges returned immediately upon obtaining a 3.4 or higher cumulative GPA. No record of your losing Honors privileges ever exists outside the Honors College, and the notation is permanently removed once you regain a 3.4.
