Honors Program Scholars also wear a red cord at Commencement. Students will be contacted prior to Commencement to pick up their cords.

There is no application process for this designation. Qualifying students will be awarded the designation automatically if they meet the criteria.

• Participate in the Honors Program a minimum of 3 semesters;
• Successfully complete a minimum of three Honors Learning Experiences; and
• Continue to complete one Honors Learning Experience each semester in the Honors Program through graduation.
