Honors Co-Curricular
The Honors College Point System is designed to encourage active participation in the Honors community, in the Palm Beach State community, and in the local, national, and international communities to which we belong. Students are expected to earn a minimum number of points, as described in the Point System document below. Points exceeding the max of a total of 100 will not be accepted (except Honors Activities points). In addition, Honors Points may also provide a quantitative basis for scholarship determinations, program awards, and other merit-based benefits.
Honors Co-Curricular Activities
- Points summary updates will be issued at the end of each month by email request only to honors@palmbeachstate.edu. We will no longer send notification after each individual submission of activity
- Honors College students graduating must submit all points one month prior to the graduation ceremony to be noted in the graduation program.
