How To Apply

Interested in applying to the Ingram Honors College at GCU?  Speak with your university counselor to determine whether you meet the eligibility criteria or may qualify for automatic enrollment. As you explore the requirements, keep in mind that honors students complete two separate applications: one to the university to start or select their degree program, and a second, dedicated Ingram Honors College application to be considered for a seat in the honors community. Your counselor can help you navigate both steps and ensure you’re on the right path.

If you have been offered a seat in the Ingram Honors College, call us at 855-GCU-LOPE or email us at gcuhonors@gcu.edu for more information.
