First Time Freshmen

Students should first apply for admission to UAH. See Admissions & Aid for complete information.

UAH Honors recognizes the difficulties students face in taking standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT. Accordingly, we have a test-optional policy for Honors admission. We will still consider test scores if submitted, but we want to stress that test scores are not required for admission into Honors this year.

Contact the Honors office if you have any questions at honorsapps@uah.edu.

  • Admission to Honors requires an application and is not automatic. 
  • Admission is based upon a holistic review of candidates that considers high school transcripts, activities, leadership, and application essays. To be considered, you must have a minimum 3.5 high school GPA. In special cases, because of the holistic review, students who fall below the minimum standards may be accepted.

  • While test scores are not required this year, the middle 50% of ACT scores among students accepted to the UAH Honors College ranged between 26 and 34 (SAT 1260 - 1540).

  • The average high school GPA of current Honors Students is 4.2.

  • There is no application fee.

Current UAH Students or Students Transferring to UAH

If you don't meet that guideline, you may still apply and we will make an individual assessment. In most cases, you can transfer Honors credit earned at another institution to be used as Honors credits at UAH.
  • There is no application fee. 

Requirements for the full Honors Diploma are the same for transfer students and for enrolled students entering the college for the first time. The Honors Office will work with you to develop a plan to complete 24 Honors credit hours. If it's not possible to complete the full Honors College diploma, you may be interested in pursuing the Certificate for Completion of the Upper-Level Requirements.

Contact  honorsapps@uah.edu for questions and submission of the application.
