Admissions

There are two ways through which students entering UCI from community college may join Campuswide Honors:

Honors to Honors

Some entering transfer students are invited to Campuswide Honors as part of the UCI admissions process through a program called Honors to Honors. Honors to Honors is a program of UCI Admissions where partner community college honors directors may nominate outstanding honors students applying to UCI for special consideration for selection for Campuswide Honors and for merit scholarships.

A 3.7 GPA and successful completion of the community college honors program are required. (Please note that, once you have been admitted to UCI as an Honors to Honors student, your final community college transcript must reflect successful completion of the community college honors program and a 3.7 overall GPA in order to remain in Campuswide Honors.) If admitted to UCI and these requirements are met, then no supplemental application for Campuswide Honors is required. For more information on the honors curriculum requirements for transfer students, visit honors.uci.edu/transfer. For more information on Honors to Honors, click here to view the flyer. For more information on transfer student resources at UCI, visit the Transfer Student Hub website.

By Application

Transfer students to UCI may apply to join Campuswide Honors if they have completed one quarter or more as a full-time student at UCI (12 graded units), with a 3.5 GPA or higher. (Please note that students who are admitted to Honors often have GPAs higher than the minimum required for consideration.) In addition, summer applications will be considered for transfer students prior to entering UCI, using their community college transcript. The deadline is August 1 at 11:59 p.m. (PST).

Students may submit one application to the CHC. Additional applications will not be considered.

Application Deadlines

Students are encouraged to apply to the CHC as soon as they are ready. For continuing UCI students, applications are accepted until week 2 of winter quarter of sophomore year. Transfer students are eligible to apply until week 2 of winter quarter of the first year at UCI.
