Late Admissions


Freshmen who do not enter the University as Honors students but demonstrate academic excellence during their first two quarters at the UW may apply to the Honors Program in the spring of their freshman year.

To be considered for late admission, students with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 should deliver a completed Application for Late Admission (including the Late Admission Essays) and an unofficial copy of their transcript directly to the Honors Office in Mary Gates Hall 211. The deadline for submitting the Late Admission application to the Honors Program has been extended to Monday April 20th at 5PM, and decisions will be mailed out mid-May.

Applicants must either attend one of the following information sessions or meet individually with an Honors adviser to discuss the Honors requirements and options.

Late Admission information sessions will be held at the following dates and times:

  • Monday, April 13th, 2009 at 2:30 PM in MGH 211E
  • Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 at 10:30 AM in MGH 206
  • Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 4:30 PM in MGH 206

If you absolutely cannot make one of these sessions, you may email uwhonors@u.washington.edu to schedule an individual appointment with an Honors adviser.
