Requirements for Good Standing in the Mahurin Honors College

  • A cumulative GPA of 3.2
    • NOTE: Students must have a GPA of 3.2 to graduate, but are eligible for GPA appeals between 3.0 - 3.2  

Warning Semester Procedures

  • Students placed on warning semester have failed to meet the requirement of a 3.2 GPA.

  • Warning Semesters are determined by a student’s overall cumulative GPA and are evaluated at the end of every semester.

  • To stay enrolled in the honors college, students on warning must earn a TERM GPA that is higher than their cumulative (example: a student with a 2.96 cumulative GPA must earn a 2.97 fall or spring term GPA to stay in the honors college for the next semester).

  • Students are placed on warning every semester (given they meet the requirement above) until their cumulative GPA rises above 3.2.

  • There is not currently a maximum number of semesters a student can be on warning.

  • Students on Warning Semester will be required to make an advising appointments.

  • At the end of each term, academic advisors will evaluate students’ final grades.

  • If a student’s final grades by the end of the current term do not equal a term GPA higher than their cumulative GPA, MHC faculty and staff have the right to remove students from the Mahurin Honors College. 

Students seeking a GPA appeal form for graduation should meet with a Mahurin Honors College advisor.
