Honors College Admissions

How do I apply?

Become a part of the Regent University Honors College family.

Prospective students should complete the Regent University Honors College Application — a single application that covers both your admission to Regent University and your consideration for the Honors College.

Already applied to Regent University through the general application? If you’re interested in the Honors College but didn’t apply through the Honors Application above, submit the Honors College Survey so the selection committee can review your candidacy.

Reserve your Spot at Honors Bound – A Full-Tuition Scholarship Competition!
Honors College applicants can register for College Preview Weekend to attend Honors Bound: The Honors College Scholarship Competition. Although this event is not required for admission to the Honors College, it is the only opportunity to compete for the Honors College Full-Tuition Scholarship. Honors Bound will include the scholarship competition, a networking breakfast, and a Q&A session with the Dean of the Honors College, as well as the rest of the fun of College Preview Weekend.

What is the deadline to apply to the Honors College?

The deadline to apply to the Regent University Honors College is separate from the deadline to participate in Honors Bound.

Important Deadlines!

May 1* | Deadline to submit the Honors Application or Honors College Survey

*Students interested in attending the Honors Bound event must submit the Regent University Honors College Application (or Honors College Survey, if applicable) to allow time for the selection committee to review it.

**If you are invited to attend the Honors Bound event, we recommend that you RSVP within 24-48 hours — spots are limited!

To be eligible to attend an Honors Bound event, applications must be submitted by the application deadline listed for the preferred Honors Bound event date.

When will I find out if I am admitted into the Honors College?

Students can expect invitations to RSVP to the Honors Bound event to be sent out 2-3 weeks after a completed Honors Application (or Honors College Survey) has been submitted. Students admitted into the Honors College will be notified of their acceptance and any additional scholarships they may be awarded roughly 2-3 weeks after participating in the Honors Bound event. If you have any questions, please contact our Office of Undergraduate Admissions at undergrad@regent.edu or 757.352.4960.

Application to the Honors College does not guarantee acceptance into the program.

Regent reserves the right to make all decisions regarding Honors College invitations and scholarship awards. Once scholarship awards are made, decisions are final, and the criteria used to make scholarship decisions will remain confidential.

  • You must be a high school senior to apply to the Honors College.
