General Requirements for New and Sustaining Members
Students will be admitted into David C. Frederick Honors College at Pitt-Greensburg according to the previous requirements for the Honors Program: a 3.5 GPA for existing Pitt-Greensburg students, and typically a 3.8 GPA for incoming high school students (though this is weighed against other considerations).
To remain a member of David C. Frederick Honors College at Pitt-Greensburg, students must maintain a cumulative 3.5 GPA and be making regular progress toward the completion of their chosen honors program. Students whose GPA falls below 3.5 will be on probation for one semester with the expectation that they will restore their cumulative GPA to 3.5. If they are unable to do so, their membership will end.
Grandfathering Existing Students
Since many of Greensburg campus students are already working toward an Honors Program recognition developed prior to this proposal, existing students can choose to remain within the original Honors Program and its requirements and benefits. They also have the option of transferring into one of the Honors College programs, if that is a manageable option. If you are a current Honors Program student and wish to transfer to one of the David C. Frederick Honors College at Pitt-Greensburg programs, contact one of the Honors Program mentors to discuss this option.
Any student admitted to Pitt-Greensburg beginning the fall 2023 semester or later, however, is required to participate in one of the Honors College Programs.
