Calhoun Honors College

He is out if state from PA as are several of his roommates – GA, MD.

@adtuck we are from NJ. My son said the FB page is mostly girls, but there are 4 snapchats going he should join.

@mweb136 Does a student have to make their deposit before they can join the Facebook group? If not can you share link? Thank you!

@RelocatedYankee no, the deposit has nothing to do with the Facebook group. There are plenty of students on that group who have not even committed to Clemson yet. It is for students only. You search Clemson University Class of 2022 and it will come right up. My son just fills me in. There is a separate parents group too. That one is called Clemson University Parents. :slight_smile:

Do the Calhoun acceptance come in same package as your original acceptance ?

No, honors college was announced via the portal last 2/15.

DS didn’t apply until early Feb, just got accepted today but letter doesn’t say anything about Calhoun- stats 1560 uw GPA 3.95

@quinntheeskimo as I understand it in order to get priority honors college admissions you needed to apply separately to honors college by 12/1 in order to hear by 1/15.

For anyone who applied to honors after 12/1 it is a total crap shoot and although Clemson will consider the honors application there is no assurance that even the top stats will get admitted. My guess is it comes down to how many of the priority kids who are offered admission into the honors college ultimately accept.

@quinntheeskimo Did your son fill out the separate Honors College application?

yes, daughter actually- it was a typo

Will they notify either way about honors college by April 1 or just if accepted ? Is notification via portal or mail ?

Yes, if it’s like in years past, they will send an email with a link to your applyweb page where a letter is posted for either decision.

@Baxter126 - thanks!

@quinntheeskimo I spoke with the honors college yesterday. Everyone will be notified by portal by midnight April 1.

thanks- have a great weekend !
