Freshmen
Since admission to the freshman class of the College is limited and competitive, students should complete the application process as early as possible in their senior year of high school. Priority consideration will be given to those applications received before February 15. Students should have a minimum high school GPA of 3.5 (weighted) and commensurate scores on the SAT or ACT.

Transfer and Current FIU Students
Students with at least a 3.3 in prior college work also can apply to the College at the second or third level. Generally, students must have four semesters beyond the next Fall Term remaining in their program of studies in order to complete the honors requirements and qualify for graduation through the College. Students transferring from a Florida Community College may qualify for scholarships. Recipients are selected on the basis of transfer GPA (special attention is paid to prior performance in honors courses), extra-curricular activities, and letters of recommendation.

To be considered for these awards, students must submit 1) a completed application for membership in The Honors College including the required essay; 2) a current official transcript; and 3) two letters of recommendation. Students who submit these documents will be considered for all applicable awards. All scholarship recipients must be members of The Honors College and maintain full-time enrollment (15 FIU credits per term) with a minimum GPA of at least 3.3. Students who apply by February 15 will be given priority consideration. Initial awards will be made on March 1.

Returning Students
While the majority of the students in the College are of a traditional college age, many of our most active and successful students have been those who have returned to higher education after an absence to work or raise a family.

Prior to being admitted to The Honors College, students must first complete the University application process.
