Admission Requirements

Incoming First-Year Students

Good news! If you have applied to UTA, you have already applied to the Honors College. All UTA applicants are evaluated based upon the academic record included with their application. Students meeting our requirements will be notified via email within 30 days of their admission to UTA and be formally invited to join the College.

Invited students can accept their seat by filling out the Honors Acceptance form included in their invitation email. Seats for invited students are guaranteed until March 15th (Fall students) or November 1st (Spring students). After that date, invitations will be honored on a space availability basis.

Students who do not receive an invitation may request holistic evaluation during our open application season. Generally, successful applicants have an excellent high-school academic record, a 1270+ SAT score (or ACT equivalent), and demonstrate engagement in their academic development through accelerated coursework or extracurricular involvement. This application is currently open and will remain so until our incoming class is full. Students can expect to hear back from Honors in mid-March (Fall students) or late Fall (Spring students). If you would like to request a holistic review for admission, follow this link to begin the application.

Current UTA Students and Transfer Students

UTA students who have earned between 12 and 60 credit hours with a UTA GPA of 3.5 or higher are encouraged to apply to the College. Transfer students with a GPA of 3.5 or higher are also encouraged to apply. Students may do so though our holistic application process.

UT Coordinated Admissions Program (CAP)

Interested incoming UT Coordinated Admissions Program (CAP) students who are not automatically admitted must apply for their entering Fall semester. If admitted, CAP students are required to earn early registration by participating in a minimum of three (3) Honors registration reward events by the posted deadline during their first semester. Additionally, CAP students are encouraged to fulfill the milestones of first-year Honors students. Those who are unable to meet these conditions will be dismissed from the Honors College. The Honors College will not admit CAP students who are in their second semester.

Note: We are unable to offer admissions to students in programs offered exclusively through the Accelerated Online (AO) or online Academic Partnerships (AP) degree plans.
