How to Get Certified for UC Irvine Honors to Honors

First Year at IVC

• Meet with an Honors counselor to plan your courses - you will need to have a minimum of 60 units and satisfy all major prep

• Complete English and math courses as early as possible, and make progress in major prep (complete as much major prep by the end of fall semester of application year, and go beyond the minimum required major prep, if possible)

• Maintain at least a 3.25 in Honors coursework and at least a 3.7 in UC-transferable coursework (for Honors to Honors) or a 3.25-3.69 in UC-transferable coursework (for Transfer Honors)

The Year That You Apply to Transfer

• By mid-September: Complete the UCLA TAP/UCI Honors to Honors interest form

• By mid-September: Email unofficial transcripts showing courses completed at other colleges to honorsprogram@ivc.edu 

• October/November: Submit the UC application 

  • Be sure to allow for your information to be released, so that your name will appear in our UC Irvine applicant database

  • You may indicate UCI Honors to Honors on the UC application, but it is not required; you will not be considered until we submit your certification

• Fall semester: Meet with an Honors Counselor to receive advising and ensure that you're on track to complete requirements  (this is required for H2H certification!)

• By end of February: Meet with an Honors Counselor by the end of February to complete certification paperwork
