Eligibility and Enrollment Procedures

• Continuing URI students with a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher are eligible to register for honors courses without permission numbers. For students who entered the University before fall of 2010, the GPA requirement is 3.20.
  Continuing URI students with a GPA between 3.00 and 3.29 may register for honors courses with the permission of the instructor. Please contact the instructor for a permission number.
• Incoming transfer students with with a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher are also eligible to register for honors courses. Because they have not yet established a GPA at URI, they will need to contact Walter von Reinhart or call 874-2303 for a permission number.
• Incoming freshmen who graduated in the top ten percent of their high school class and incoming students who have been offered a Centennial Scholarship are eligible to register for honors courses during their first semester at URI. They should attend the Honors Program Information Session on day one of Freshmen Orientation.
  Students from high schools that do not rank should send an inofficial copy of their high school transcript and a letter of recommendation from a teacher to Associate Director Walter von Reinhart.
• Continuing education students without a recent high school transcript should contact Associate Director Walter von Reinhart to discuss eligibility.
• Other students who do not meet the eligibility criteria but are interested in the Honors Program should discuss their eligibility with Honors Director Richard McIntyre.

Important Note

• First-semester freshmen and first-semester transfer students will need permission numbers to register for honors courses for their second-semester at URI. Please contact Walter von Reinhart or call 874-2303 for your permission number.
