HONORS Program question?!

Transfer Students UC Transfers
1

<p>Hi everyone. My question is, can I still join a honors program at a CC even if I won't have an overall 3.0 high school GPA? I screwed up my sophomore and freshman year, and my GPAs were ridiculously low (which is why I'm going to a CC in the first place.) On PCC's site it says...</p>

<p>In order to participate in the program, students must have one of the following:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>3.0 GPA from high school or</p></li>
<li><p>3.0 after 12 units of transfer courses at PCC.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So does that mean that after I complete 12 units and maintain a 3.0 GPA, I'll be able to join the program and be certified? I desperately need to join the program because any boost will be a huge boost (in my eyes) for when I apply to universities. I'll begin my classes next fall and I plan on transferring to a UC. Thanks to anyone who can help me out :)</p>

<p>Yes, however not sure how much it will help you. You should be able to get a 3.5 pretty easily so aim for that and that will get you into a few decent UC’s and the CSU’s.</p>

<p>Join the program, yes. Certified, probably not. You probably have to take many honors classes to get certified. The information should be on the your school’s website.</p>

<p>Yeah you will have to take like 12 credits of honors I think? I think thats what mine required. Its not all that much, they charge you like 100 dollars as well. At least at my school which I thought was too scammy.</p>
