Associate Membership
Students who were not admitted to the UHON program as incoming freshmen and who have completed at least 24 hours of college credit with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 may apply for membership as Associate Honors Fellows. Although ineligible for any University Honors Scholarships (which are awarded only to incoming freshmen), associate members enjoy most of the other benefits afforded UHON students, including:
- Priority registration for classes
- Opportunity to live in an honors-only section of on-campus housing
- Intensive personal academic advisement and guidance
- Enhanced library borrowing privileges
- 24-hour access to the University Honors Reading Room and computer lab
- Annual cultural stipend to attend selected symphony, opera, cinema and theatre performances
- Opportunities to travel for academic credit with other honors students and faculty
- Employment opportunities, including UHON Student Research Assistantships with faculty in a variety of academic disciplines
- Program-sponsored social events and special programs throughout the year

Application Form
Associate applications may be submitted at any time during the year, but you must have at least two full semesters of enrollment remaining before graduation in which to complete your required UHON courses and departmental honors project. Ideally, candidates for associate membership who are already enrolled at UTC should apply in the fall semester of the sophomore year, and transfer students should apply immediately following transfer to UTC.
After admission to the UHON Program, associates must meet the following maintenance standards:
-
maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA
-
take at least 6 hours of UHON courses before graduation
-
complete a departmental honors project during the senior year
- each fall and spring semester, register for and attend the honors seminar (0 credit hrs.) appropriate to the associate's class standing
