Admission and Retention

Entering Freshmen

Entering freshmen with a minimum SAT score of 1100 or ACT score of 26 or class rank in the top 10 percent are invited to apply for admission to the college.

Continuing or Transfer Students

Continuing students and transfer students who have completed at least 12 hours of college course work and have attained at least a 3.30 grade point average (GPA) are also invited to apply for admission.

Good Standing

Following the initial semester in the college, an honors student is considered to be in good standing if he or she maintains a minimum overall or UTSA GPA of 3.25 and successfully completes a minimum of one honors course per academic year. These courses may include honors sections of departmental courses, courses offered through the College (HON), and credit earned through honors contracts. A student not in good standing for two consecutive semesters will be dropped from the college. Students whose GPA falls below 3.25 but remains above 3.00 may petition to remain in the Honors College as a probationary member. Only students in good standing qualify for Honors graduation.

Readmission

Students who have been dropped from the College may apply for readmission if:

  • They have attained a minimum overall or UTSA GPA of 3.25; and
  • They are currently enrolled in an honors course or register for an honors course at the time of request.

Dual College Membership

All Honors College students are also members of a degree-granting college. Admission to the Honors College is independent of admission to any other academic unit.
