Does anyone know if non-honors students are allowed to take honors courses if their GPA is high enough?

Does anyone know the date when decisions will be released?

Website says late February / early March

Does anyone know if the decision is going to be online or via email?

@axwclassof2022 the Schreyer website says we should be emailed a date that decisions will be released, and they will be posted online on that day as well as an official letter mailed to your house.

@bnelly334 Thank you!

@axwclassof2022 The notification date is March 13

@varqueesh Thank you! So this is the date the decision will be released then?

How do you know that @varqueesh? We can’t find the date online anywhere.

Just got an email from SHC that all decisions will be posted online on Tuesday, March 13, 2018, at 3:30 EST. They also said that you must have an offer of admission from Penn State in order to receive a decision from the SHC.

My son just received financial aid offer and it did not reflect honors award. Is this a hint he was not accepted to Schreyer?

@phillies80 The Schreyer decisions will be posted next week. The lack of Schreyer scholarship in his financial aid offer is not indicative of any Schreyer decision.

24 Hours to go! Good luck everyone :slight_smile:

From what I learned from an admission counselor and people from the honors college, you are only going to hear from the honors college if you already get a Penn State acceptance. If you haven’t already got an acceptance, then you have to wait until you get your acceptance from Penn State to know the honors college’s decision. Good luck to everyone!

Good interview

Sorry to hear that JSchoolorbust. How did you find out? Does the status say something? Mine still says “You may check the status of your Schreyer Honors College application below. All of the items below must be fulfilled for your application to be complete.” But nothing as far as Accepted Denied etc.
