REQUIREMENTS & ADMISSIONS ELIGIBILITY

You must apply to Cal State LA before you will be able to access the Honors College application.

Apply to the University via Cal State Apply: www.calstate.edu/apply

Note: If you are currently a student at Cal State LA, you should skip this step and proceed directly to the Honors College application.

The Application is your opportunity to introduce yourself to the  Honors College. Take time to thoughtfully reflect upon what you will write. Your responses are unique to you. These guidelines may be useful:

• DO preview the questions, create drafts, and save your work. You may save your draft and return to it at any time before the deadline.
• DO proofread and edit carefully: avoid distracting your readers with preventable writing mistakes.
• DO provide specific examples of your points: avoid vague generalities and unsupported assertions.
• DO exercise critical thinking by providing a carefully considered statement: avoid cliches, quotations from others (we want to hear from you!), and grandiose claims.
• DO give yourself enough time to submit your best draft by planning time for brainstorming, writing, proofreading, and editing.

Complete the online application to the Honors College through GET, (/registrar/get). There is no additional fee required to apply to the Honors College.

Note: Please note that you will need to have access to your GET account to apply to the Honors College. Cal State LA will provide you by email with a User ID (CIN) and password.
