Late Entry

Late entry into the honors program is on an invitational basis. Engineering students who achieve a 3.7 GPA in their first quarter at RIT are invited to apply. Semi-finalists are interviewed and accepted on the contingency that they maintain a 3.7 GPA through winter quarter.

During the first two years, the students complete four 1-credit hour courses and two 0-credit hour courses. The four credits earned may eventually apply as a free elective in the student’s program of study. Because late entry students miss the first two Honors Engineering classes, the 0-credit courses, (Product Development Process, 0302-231 and Prep. for the Domestic Trip, 0302-235) are waived.
