Transfers and Continuing Students
Please explore what we offer before applying! Find your own tailored Honors path at Tech as an experienced student. The Transfer and Continuing Students version of the Honors Program application is now open!
At the time of admission to Honors, transfer and continuing Tech students must have completed 12 or more credit hours in which they have achieved an institutional GPA of 3.5 or higher as a full-time college student, and have at least four full-time semesters remaining before graduation.
Prepare to apply and plan your Honors experience
-
Consider your reasons for joining. What are some specific ways that this Honors Program's opportunities will help you achieve your goals?
-
Read the Graduation Requirements listed under "For Prospective Students." How will you be able to use Honors requirements as an integral, meaningful part of your education at Tech?
-
Complete the 2025 version of the HONORS APPLICATION FOR TRANSFER AND CONTINUING STUDENTS. After the application is reviewed, eligible applicants will be invited to continue with the Honors Planning Form as part of their application process. In your application, tell us what really motivates you to apply for this opportunity now that you've had some experience as a full-time college student.
-
Be realistic and specific, and let us know who you are: not just another bright student! Do not use AI in your application.
-
Create a plan for graduating in Honors using this form. You can access this form before applying in order to make an informed, realistic decision about applying. Submit your complete plan via email to honors@tntech.edu with the subject line "Honors Plan."
-
- Your plan must be based on the Honors graduation requirements, your remaining curricular requirements, your interests, and the Honors credit-bearing opportunities you can read about on our website.
- Your plan should include a combination of courses, contracts, and other credit-bearing opportunities such as Honors Experiential Learning. Honors Contracts are not offered for your first semester in Honors.
- Don't include courses that you do not need or intend to take, as this will not present your plan in a realistic light. For example, if you've completed your General Education courses, do not include one of the these courses simply because it's an Honors course.
