Application Forms

Applying to the Honors College

Honors College members are a carefully screened select group of scholarship recipients. Most enter the program their freshman year after formal application and acceptance. A small number of junior level transfer students are also admitted. Freshmen, to be eligible for application, must have a 28 ACT composite or equivalent, a minimum 3.5000 (un-weighted) high school grade point average on a four point scale. Students with lower than a 30 ACT composite score need to demonstrate outstanding academic records to be seriously considered for Honors College acceptance. Transfer students must have completed 40 semester hours with a minimum grade point average of 3.7500 on a four point scale or is a Phi Theta Kappa member. A transcript verifying class rank, GPA, ACT, a completed Honors College application form displaying activities and awards, an essay, and recommendation forms comprise the application package. The deadline for high school applicants and transfer students is February 1.

Application packets may be obtained on-line.
