To remain in the Hutton Honors College, you are required to satisfy at least one of the following:
- Demonstrate intention to earn the Hutton Honors Notation by completing HHC-H 101 and HHC-H 202 by the end of your fourth semester in Hutton and maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA;
- Demonstrate participation in a school- or departmental-level Honors Program and maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA;
- Maintain a 3.7 cumulative GPA.
All members of the Hutton Honors College must maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative GPA. Records are evaluated at the end of each academic year as follows:
• At the end of their first year in Hutton: students with a cumulative GPA (CGPA) between 3.20 and 3.49 will be placed on conditional membership (the Honors specific version of "academic watch"); students with less than a 3.20 CGPA will be automatically dismissed from the Hutton Honors College.
• At the end of their second year in Hutton: students with less than a 3.50 will be automatically dismissed from Hutton. Students who have not completed HHC-H 101 and HHC-H 202 and who have less than a 3.60 CGPA will be dismissed from Hutton, unless they can demonstrate their participation in a unit- or department-level honors program.
• At the end of their third year in Hutton: students with less than a 3.50 CGPA will be automatically dismissed from Hutton. Students who have not completed HHC-H 101 and HHC-H 202 and who have less than a 3.70 CGPA will be dismissed from Hutton, unless they can demonstrate their participation in a unit- or department-level honors program.
NOTE: These membership requirements apply to students who joined the Hutton Honors College in or after Fall 2024. Students who matriculated at IU Bloomington before the 2024-2025 academic year fall under the previous requirements unless they choose to pursue the Notation under the new criteria.
