Can you get into the UHC sophomore year?

<p>Or is it like PSU where you can apply again junior year.
thanks in advance. :)</p>

<p>I know that you can take honors classes if u maintain a certain GPA but you cant be in the honors college</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure that you can get into the honors college after freshman year.</p>

<p>"Continuing students qualify to take UHC courses if they have a 3.25 quality point average (GPA), a B+ average. Those who do not meet SAT or GPA requirements may nonetheless be given permission to enroll in a UHC course. Decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Flexibility is afforded those students having strong interest and background in a specific discipline. Motivation and genuine interest in the subject are very important."</p>

<p>You can take it even if you don't meet the GPA. They are pretty nice about it if you talk to them about it.</p>

<p>Nobody is officially 'in' the Honors College. As mentioned anyone can sign up for UHC classes if they get a permission slip signed by the prof, which isn't really hard or time consuming to do.</p>

<p>Most people that feel they are 'in' the college, are just more active in the college. This usually means taking UHC classes and hanging out in the UHC office on the 35th floor of the cathedral. Most students who take a lot of honors courses were given honors college sponsored scholarships when they applied which are primarily SAT score based. </p>

<p>That said, I have never heard of anyone being offered a scholarship at any time other than the application stage and have no reason to believe it is ever done. They give you the scholarship to entice you to enroll, why would they give you the scholarship after you've already matriculated?</p>

<p>The Honors College does offer a BPhil degree in addition to honors classes.
Bachelor</a> of Philosophy Degree</p>
