Honors Candidacy Evaluation
The Honors Council reviews the complete file of each candidate for Honors. Honors council will also review in detail cases when student’s GPA falls below the 3.2 minimum for extenuating circumstances, and/or cases with mixed or negative evaluations. Honors Council will also convene to review exceptional theses endorsed by the faculty mentor/committee and determine Honors Thesis Awards.
