How did you hear about the University Honors Program?

As a member of the University Honors Program, I commit to the following:

Completing 18 hours* of UHP-approved course work (this may include up to 6 hours of AP, IB or Dual credits). The total number of hours must include one Honors seminar (UHON351).
Maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or higher on all SIU coursework at graduation.
Meeting with my Honors mentor at the beginning of each semester.
Spending 20 hours per academic year in volunteer work in service to the local community.

*Transfer students with an Associate of Arts or Science degree and current SIU third/fourth year students
must complete a minimum of 12 hours of UHP-approved coursework.

I realize that if my grade point average falls below a 3.3 for more than one semester (consecutively),
if I fail to make satisfactory progress towards completing the Honors Certificate, or if I fail to meet with
my Honors mentor, I will forfeit my membership in the UHP, including all associated benefits
