• Have a cumulative high school grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4 point scale, or 4.3 or higher on a 5 point scale, OR

***Students cannot simultaneously be enrolled in the Honors Program and in a remedial course; all remedial work must be completed prior to enrollment in the Honors Program.

***Students may not be admitted into the Honors Program if there are 5 or more Valencia withdrawals on the student's transcript.
