College of Charleston Students

It's Not Too Late to Apply to the Honors College!

We accept applications from current College of Charleston students who did not enter the program as freshman-if you've taken rigorous coursework in your freshman year and earned a 3.7 GPA or higher, we encourage you to consider applying to the Honors College.

A complete Honors College Application for a Current College of Charleston student includes:
-Application – pick up a paper copy in the Honors Center or download a copy below
-Two Letters of Recommendation – from College of Charleston professors, including the Honors College Letter of Recommendation cover sheet
-College of Charleston grades– we will retrieve these from the Registrar - no need to request an official transcript

Application Deadline for Current Students
The application deadline for current students applying for spring semester is December 15. The application deadline for current students applying for fall semester is June 15. The Honors College does not make a final decision on transfer applications until we have the final grades for the current semester. Once your application is complete, the Honors College Admissions Committee will review all of your materials. You can expect a letter in the mail informing you of your Honors College admission decision. If you are accepted into the program, you will need to contact the Honors Academic Advisor to select a schedule for the following semester.
