ENTERING THE HUTTON HONORS COLLEGE

By Invitation/Application: Admission to the Hutton Honors College is by application. Students admitted to IU-Bloomington by April 1, 2008 will be selected to apply, based on a combination of performance on standardized test scores, high school academic record, evidence of creativity and leadership, and demonstrated interest in participating in the HHC curriculum and community. No one factor alone is sufficient for selection.

Students will know if they have been invited to apply at the time they receive their initial acceptance packet from the IU-Bloomington Office of Admissions. There will be a letter from the Hutton Honors College enclosed, as well as a Selective Scholarship Application which serves as an application for the Hutton Honors College and as an application for our Hutton Honors College Scholarship.

By Petition: If you are not selected to apply to the Hutton Honors College, you may petition for admission to our program. We are especially interested in highly motivated students who have taken advanced placement, accelerated, or honors courses in high school, or who have in some other way demonstrated exceptional academic promise and commitment.

Please send the following materials to us as soon as possible but no later than March 1 of your high school senior year:

• a brief letter explaining why you would like to enter our program
• a letter of recommendation from a high school faculty member who has taught you in an academic course
• a copy of your high school transcript

AFTER STARTING AT IU

Students who do not enter the Hutton Honors College as incoming freshmen may still be eligible for admission if their academic work during their first semester at IU is outstanding. After completion of that semester, you may ask that your record be reviewed if you are interested in participating in Hutton Honors College courses and programs. To be considered for admission at that time, you must have completed, during your first full semester at IU, a minimum of 14 graded academic credits (grades of S for Satisfactory will not be counted), and you must have maintained a 3.7 GPA.

PURSUING SCHOOL AND DEPARTMENTAL HONORS

Many IU schools and departments offer honors programs of their own for their undergraduate majors, and many Hutton Honors College students choose to pursue these programs. Requirements vary, but all involve taking specified classes and maintaining a minimum grade point average. Most also require a senior thesis or comparable large-scale project. Contact your department's or school's honors advisor as soon as possible after declaring your major.
