Early Honors Admission

Highly qualified, mature high school students who have earned at least 12 units of high school credit (college preparatory work is strongly recommended) with a 3.5 grade point average on a 4.00 grading system may apply for early honors admission. Applicants must have taken the ACT or SAT and have unqualified recommendations from their high school officials. Applicants for the early honors admission program must schedule a conference with the Provost, Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management and Student Life, and Associate Vice Chancellor of Enrollment & Athletic Recruitment before any final disposition can be made concerning acceptance as a first-year or special early honor student.

Students in this program should begin their studies during the summer session, so that both they and the University have an opportunity to evaluate their maturity and degree of preparedness before the beginning of the fall semester.
