"Active" Status in the Honors College

Students are considered "active" in The Honors College as freshmen and sophomores if they are undertaking at least six hours of honors work each semester and twelve honors hours any two consecutive semesters. [This means that the number of honors credit hours completed the previous semester (with grades of A or B) plus the number of honors credit hours that a student is taking during the current semester must total at least 12.] Juniors and seniors are considered active if they undertake at least three hours of honors work each semester. Active status is determined anew each semester, and active participants earn the following fringe benefits: priority enrollment for the following semester, use of the Honors College computer lab and study lounge, extended library checkout privileges, and the option to live in honors housing.
