UCLA TAP Worksheets for Fall 2025 due February 23rd, 2025.

The honors program offers students an enhanced educational experience along with potential transfer and scholarship benefits. Many universities and colleges recognize the academic achievement presented by honors courses with preferential transfer tracks, supplemental points in transfer evaluation, and scholarships for honors students. Successful completion of the enriched curriculum featured in honors coursework can also assist when transferring into programs heavily in demand.

When students take an honors course, an honors designation appears on their transcripts. One such designation can give students a sharper edge when applying for admission and scholarship. Additional honors designations make students even more desirable to institutions of higher learning.

There are two ways to do honors, taking an honors designated course and completing an honors contract with a professor in a non-honors course.

Benefits

  • Transfer Priority
  • Honors scholarships (for information, visit the Scholarship Office)
  • Honors Degree Designation
  • Honors Courses and Events

While any CCSF student may take an honors course, to participate fully in the Honors Program and have your work recognized on your diploma, you need to meet ONE of the following criteria: 

  • High school or college GPA of 3.0 or higher (weighted or unweighted)
  • SAT score of 1650 or higher, ACT score of 24 or higher
  • TOEFL score of 500 (PB+), 61 (IB+), 173 (CB+) or higher
  • Score of 4 or higher on AP classes in high school 

To remain in the program, you must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better. 

What should I do if my GPA is below 3.0?

On occasion, exceptions can be made. Ask your professor. If the professor and the chair sign the honors contract the Honors Program will accept it as long as it is on time.

I have attended several colleges and universities.  My GPA at CCSF is below 3.0, but when I calculate my cumulative GPA including all of my college work at various institutions of higher learning, I have a 3.0 GPA.  Am I eligible for the program?

Yes.  And the reverse is true also. You can count or not count your work at other institutions depending on whether or not it helps you qualify.  Copies of unofficial transcripts should be included with your application.
