Academic Requirements for Completion of the USP
To successfully complete the program, University Scholars must:

• Graduate with an accumulated Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.25 or better
• Complete 15 hours of approved course credit
• Have at least a B- in all courses used to complete the 15 hours required for completion of the program
• Receive a grade of "S" (satisfactory) for three semesters of Forum

During the semester a student expects to complete the 15 hours of Honors/Scholars credit, the student should complete a University Scholars Program Requirements Completion Form and return it to the USP office (102 Sullivan). Prompt completion of this form will help avoid confusion at a later date, and ensure that students are properly recognized at commencement.

Students who are on probation retain access to all components of the program during the probation period.
