GPA Requirements
1. In order for a student in the Honors Program to graduate as an Honors Scholar, the student must have a 3.3 cumulative GPA at the end of their penultimate semester (in addition to fulfilling all the other requirements of the Honors Program)
2. All Honors Program students will be informed of this minimum GPA policy as incoming Honors Program students.
- If an Honors Program student’s GPA is below a 3.3 cumulative GPA at the end of any semester after achieving sophomore status, they will be notified by the Director of the University Honors Program, who will remind them of the minimum GPA policy.
- An Honors Program student whose GPA is below a 3.3 cumulative GPA may continue in the Honors Program, even though the student runs the risk of not graduating as an Honors Scholar.
- If an Honors Program student chooses to withdraw from the Honors Program, the student must notify the Director of the University Honors Program in writing. The Director will notify the Registrar’s Office, which will remove the student’s HONR attribute and thereby eliminate the student’s ability to register for Honors courses.
(1) Students who choose to leave the Honors Program after achieving sophomore status will be afforded the IDS curriculum waiver afforded to Honors Program students who matriculated in fall 2023 or earlier. In other words, although they are no longer in the Honors Program, they will not need to take the third IDS course that is waived for participants in the Honors Program.
