Frequently Asked Questions

       First: don't worry.  I don't think you're going to lose your scholarship.  It doesn't happen very often.  Also, being in the Honors Program doesn't seem to hurt people's grades.  That’s what statistics show.  Compared to students who are similarly prepared in terms of gaps and SAT scores, Honors students actually score a little higher (a 3.5 gpa for Honors students compared to a 3.2 for similarly-prepared non-Honors).  So, like I say, don't worry.  Work hard, yes, but don't worry.  However, if for any reason you decide that you don't want to stay in the Honors Program, you can easily just withdraw at the end of the semester.  No hard feelings.  But, I don't think that will happen.

If I’m on scholarship, will the Honors Program lower my grades so I lose it?
