Students must take an honours course at least every two semesters. Students who have two consecutive semesters without honours courses are unlikely to be able to meet the university`s requirements. Requests for exemption from this requirement must be made in writing to the Dean of the College of Honour. The honours program offers two designations for participation, University Honors with Distinction and University Honors. Graduates of the program are honored at the beginning and have an honorary title on their transcripts. Designations are created from the following course types: University specialization students who are not in good standing will be excluded from the program. To stay in good condition, students must ensure that they meet all the requirements of their cohort within the set deadlines. Students who do not meet a requirement will be excluded from academic honors. This Policy and Procedures Reference Document also describes program policies for specialized students, including probation and fall procedures, program specifications, and scholarship requirements. If you were an honours student who was hired and would like to apply again for academic honours, you can do so based on the date you were hired.
If the year and quarter you were hired are not included in the table below, you will not have the opportunity to reapply. If you are eligible, please visit the admission webpage for further instructions. Once you are readmitted to the honors, you will be subject to the requirements of the cohort in which you were newly inducted and will not have to meet the requirements you missed when you were not in the honors. Specialized students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30+ and take at least one specialization course per year to stay active. Highly gifted students can join the programme as incoming, transferring or current UNI students. Take a look at the admission requirements in the table below. After admission, you can choose between two different designations – University Honors with Distinction (30 credits) or University Honors (18 credits).

Unfortunately, if you fail to meet any of these requirements on time, if your GPA drops below 3.5, or if you fail to meet other university scholarship requirements, you will forfeit any specialized scholarships you may receive. However, you can still participate in the Honors program and work to regain a good reputation.
You can still complete the specialization program as long as all requirements are met by the time you graduate.
