ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAM
The UHP has three possible entry points. Most students enter the program as freshmen, pursuing either the University Honors Scholar program (Track 1), or the Discipline Honors Scholar program (Track 2). (See the Program Requirements page for more details about these two options). Students transferring from another academic institution to CSU may be invited to apply for admission into Track 2 if they meet credit and GPA requirements. In addition, CSU students who are currently enrolled at CSU may also be invited to apply for admission into Track 2. All students applying to Track 2 after their first year must meet minimum GPA requirements and admission criteria established by their departments to be considered for the UHP.

The admission process for transfer students Incoming transfer students who have been admitted to CSU are invited to apply to the program if they have demonstrated records of high academic achievement at the college level. The minimum college cumulative GPA for consideration in the UHP is 3.50. Incoming transfer students should have at least 45 credits and no more than 75 credits completed by the time of enrollment at CSU. Students in this category receive a letter inviting them to apply and providing instructions for completing the application process. Students who do not meet the minimum admission criteria may contact the University Honors Program to explore their options. The appropriate track for most transfer students will be Track 2, Discipline Honors Scholar. These students complete Honors courses in their major, and must be admitted to the program by the department. The recruitment and admissions process is coordinated through the University Honors Program, but the final admission decision is made by the student's academic department. Applications for Fall 2009 should be received by June 1, 2009. The application process for currently enrolled CSU students The criteria for admission into the UHP for currently enrolled students are similar to that for transfer students. A competitive applicant should have at least a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Students who are encouraged to apply to Track 2 by faculty in their department should contact the UHP office to obtain assistance with the application process. The final admission decision into Track 2 for currently enrolled students is made by the student's academic department. Applications for continuing students will be considered on a rolling basis.
