In order to graduate with a Fellows certificate, Honors Fellows must earn 10 Fellows points. Fellows points both reward Fellows for the breadth of experiences they are pursuing and encourage them to branch out beyond their comfort zones. Fellows may repeat a points category no more than four times.
Students who become Honors Fellows after the core curriculum sequence has commenced must add 1 point to their total points requirement for each 3-credit core course they have not completed in a Fellows cohort. Likewise, students who apply AP credits or transfer credits toward the core sequence must add 1 point to their total points requirement for each 3-credit core course they have not completed in a Fellows cohort.
