Continuing the Program

Students entering CNU prior to Fall 2009:
In order to continue in the program beyond the first year, Freshmen Honors Students must earn a 3.25 grade point average by the end of their first two semesters. In addition, students must enroll in Honors courses each year and maintain a GPA that promises they will achieve a 3.50 or higher by graduation.

Students entering CNU in Fall 2009 or after:
Honors student transcripts will be reviewed twice yearly - before the start of the second semester, and by the end May - to ensure that students are on track to complete Honors requirements. When an Honors Program student drops below the minimum 3.30 GPA, a letter of warning will be sent. Two successive semesters below a 3.30 GPA will result in removal from the program.

If an Honors student fails to maintain a seminar schedule that predicts Program completion, they are subject to removal from the program. Students will normally enroll and complete an HONR course each semester. If removed, he / she must adjust his / her registration accordingly. Withdrawing from an Honors seminar or inquiry course constitutes withdrawal from the Honors Program unless the Director approves a waiver.
