The Honors College is committed to supporting all students in successfully completing their Honors degree. When a student's academic progress falls below expected milestones, we implement a structured support system called Honors Probation.
During Honors Probation, students:
Students who demonstrate adequate progress according to their action plan will have their full Honors status reinstated, along with all associated privileges.
We understand that academic paths can change, and we're committed to supporting students in making decisions that best serve their educational goals. If you're considering withdrawing from the Honors College, we want to ensure this decision aligns with your overall success and well-being.
To initiate a withdrawal request:
This conversation is designed to ensure you have considered all options and resources available to support your success in the Honors program. We want to make certain that withdrawal is truly the best path forward for your academic and personal goals.
Please know that this process exists not as a barrier, but as an opportunity to discuss your concerns and determine the most supportive course of action for your individual circumstances.
