2) Honors writing in the disciplines (2 credits minimum) and Honors capstone experience requirements (3 credits minimum), both completed in residence.

Students must maintain a minimum 3.30 GPA in honors courses and overall to maintain scholarship (if applicable). Students can remain in program without scholarship with minimum 3.00 GPA both overall and in Honors courses.

Policy on the transferring of Honors courses from other institutions:

Courses recognized as being part of an Honors Program at an accredited college or university will be considered on an individual basis as satisfying requirements of the CCSU Honors Program. Students must submit a copy of the course syllabus to the program Curriculum Committee for evaluation. The course must have been successfully completed with a grade of C or higher. The residency requirement for graduating as a member of the CCSU Honors Program is the completion of at least 9 credits of Honors Program work at CCSU (including the fulfillment of the writing in the disciplines and capstone experience). Transfers from Connecticut State Community College can use RSCH 2011 as equivalent to writing in the disciplines but still must complete 9 hours of Honors Program work at CCSU (including the capstone).
