University Honors Policies

All First-Time in College (FTIC) and Second Year Entry (2UH) Scholars in the University Honors program must enroll and earn a Satisfactory (S) grade in Honors Symposium (IDH 1920H) during their first Fall semester at the BHC.

Scholars who do not receive an S grade in IDH 1920H will be removed from the University Honors program at the conclusion of the Fall semester, regardless of their UCF GPA or Honors GPA. Appeals will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

All University Honors students are required to maintain a UCF GPA of 3.3 or higher in order to remain in good standing with the program. If a student's cumulative UCF GPA dips below 3.3, they will be placed on probation. Students must achieve a minimum 3.3 term UCF GPA at the end of each subsequent semester while on probation, until their cumulative UCF GPA returns to 3.3 or higher. Students who do not meet this requirement while on probation will be removed from the University Honors program. Students will be placed back in good standing once their UCF cumulative GPA returns to 3.3 or higher.

Any questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Office of Honors Advising.

Students who do not take any Honors classes for two consecutive semesters (including future semesters) and/or are off-track with their Honors requirements will be asked to meet with the Office of Honors Advising to discuss future Honors coursework. Honors students will be informed of this during the semi-annual Honors audit process in December and May. At this time, students will receive an email to their KnightsMail account instructing them to check their Honors status on myHonors.

If a student does not meet with the Office of Honors Advising, and does not take any Honors classes for four consecutive semesters (including future semesters), they may be withdrawn from the University Honors program.

Students who are withdrawn may apply for reinstatement into the program after meeting with an Honors advisor and devising a mutually agreed upon plan of study to complete University Honors requirements. Students who do not complete this plan of study may be withdrawn permanently from the University Honors program.
