Are honors classes more difficult?

  • Students actually tell us they believe honors classes are better rather than harder - they are more fulfilling because of the close interaction among faculty and students.


Will my grade point average go down if I take honors classes?

  • The opportunities for writing, for discussion, for help and feedback can make it easier to do well. And as your writing, research, and thinking skills improve, you'll see the benefits in your other classes as well.


What other advantages are there to being a member of the Honors Program?

  • See the benefits page for more information.


When can I apply ?

  • The program has rolling admissions, which means you can apply anytime. To receive honors priority registration, all application steps must be completed by the priority registration deadline. For priority registration deadlines, go to Enrollment Dates.

 

How do I notify the program that I will be graduating so I can attend Honors Convocation?

  • The Honors Coordinators will send email notifications, usually around November, directing you to complete a mandatory survey by a specified deadline. Those who complete the required tasks outlined in these notifications will receive further instructions for graduating from the Honors Program.
    • For UCI and UCLA TAP certifications, the completion of said survey is required. Be sure to check your emails regularly.
