Mahurin Honors College Good Standing Policy


Requirements for Good Standing in the Mahurin Honors College

  • A cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher
    • NOTE: Students must have a GPA of 3.2 or higher to graduate.

Warning Semester Procedures

  • Students placed on warning semester have less than the required 3.2 GPA.

  • Warning Semesters are determined by a student’s overall cumulative GPA and are evaluated at the end of every semester.

  • To stay enrolled in the honors college, students on warning must earn a TERM GPA that is higher than their cumulative (example: a student with a 2.96 cumulative GPA must earn a 2.97 or higher fall or spring term GPA to stay in the honors college for the next semester).

  • Students remain on warning every semester (given they meet the requirement above) until their cumulative GPA rises above 3.2.

  • There is no maximum number of semesters a student can be on warning as long as their GPA continues increases each semester. 

  • Students on warning are still required to make advising appointments.

  • At the end of each term, academic advisors will evaluate students final grades.

  • If a student’s GPA decreases, they will be dropped from the Mahurin Honors College.
