Admission

Prospective Students:
Standard Admission
Admission into the University Honors Program is by invitation only. Decisions about admission are based on an evaluation of the entire record that a student has submitted to Florida State University during the general freshman admissions process. There is no separate application form for the Honors Program. Letters of invitation are sent out within two weeks of admission to the university.

Students who receive a letter of invitation generally meet the following minimum criteria:

3.9 or higher FSU-calculated high school GPA (Contact the Office of Admissions with questions about high school GPA*) AND
1910 or higher SAT score (combined critical reading, math, writing) OR
29 or higher ACT score

*If you would like to find out your FSU-calculated GPA, please contact the Office of Admissions after you receive your admission decision.

Admission by Petition
First year students who are accepted into Florida State University as freshmen but who do not receive a letter of invitation may petition for admission to the Honors Program by submitting a petition portfolio. Successful applicants generally meet at least TWO of the following three requirements, though meeting these requirements alone does not guarantee admission:

3.7 or higher FSU-weighted high school GPA (Contact the Office of Admissions to find out your weighted FSU GPA)
A qualifying test score, which may be either 1850 on the SAT (combined critical reading, math, writing) or 28 on the ACT
Class rank in the top ten percent of their high school graduating class

Current Florida State Freshmen:
Lateral Admission
First year students whose admission is declined for fall may be eligible for admission via the lateral admission process if they achieve at least a 3.80 for a minimum of 12 hours of graded coursework during their first fall semester at FSU. Lateral admits join the Honors program the spring semester following their first fall semester. Students who are admitted laterally are held to the same program requirements as students admitted by standard admission.

Once grades are posted in December, eligible students will be contacted by the Honors Program. More information will be posted here in December.
