No notification for the Honors College?

My son, a senior and chancellor’s scholar, is very active in the honors college. You don’t have to be invited or accepted and many kids who are not “honors” students live in the Honors dorms etc. It is not exclusive nor is it closed to students. In fact, the honors college (according to him) is open to all. It’s really more a self-selective group.

One of my son’s biggest complaints about the honors college is that in it’s quest to open the doors to everyone it has opened it’s doors to everyone! : )

If your test scores and GPA aren’t high enough to automatically qualify for enrollment in a honors course you just go talk to an honors advisor and get permission to enroll. Voila.

There are some competitive programs for honors caliber kids (summer fellowships, etc) and a couple seminars that are closed. Otherwise, everyone is welcome so don’t worry about it.
