Provisional admission is granted to students who lack in one of the admission criteria.
The Honors Program realizes that there are quality students who do not meet both of the criteria for full admission, and a petition for provisional admission may be made. Upon successful completion of the student's year of provisional admission, if the student meets the 3.2 GPA requirement, admission into the Honors Program is granted. Admission is granted to transfer students, upon application, who have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher from a previous college or university. Students intending to pursue a college career in engineering or the pre-health areas must meet with an advisor from those areas first. These programs require a special track in the Honors Program.
