Eligibility
There are a number of ways to enter the University Honors Program:
Incoming first-year students who have unweighted high school GPAs of 3.7 or higher are eligible and may apply to the University Honors Program.
To remain in good standing in the UHP, all members must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4.
Complete an application for admittance if you are a current UW-W student who:
- Has completed at least 12 credits
- Earned a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4.
To remain in good standing in the UHP, all members must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4.
Complete an application for admittance if you are a transfer student. If you have earned Honors credits at your previous institution and wish to claim those Honors credits, please note the residency requirement: beginning in Fall 2015, transfer students who have earned at least 12 Honors credits at their previous institution must complete a residency requirement of at least 9 Honors credits at UW-Whitewater. Transfer students entering the UHP with fewer than 12 Honors credits must complete enough Honors credits at UW-W to reach 21 Honors credits.
To remain in good standing in the UHP, all members must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4.
Students working on their Associate's Degree through the College of Integrated Studies (UW-Whitewater at Rock County) are eligible for the College of Integrated Studies Honors Program. If students decide to continue their educational journey on the main UW-Whitewater Campus, they may apply using the continuing student application.
