High School Seniors

If you are currently a High School Senior, follow these steps to ensure a complete application:

• Complete the College of Charleston Undergraduate Admissions Application, preferably using the online system. Applying to the College online allows you to access the separate Honors College Application online. On the regular application you will check the box indicating that you want to apply to the Honors College.
• Complete the Honors College application. Students applying online will receive a link to access the Honors College Application once their regular application is submitted. The user name and password will be the same as what was used for the regular application. If you prefer to complete a paper application, you can print the PDF version and mail it to the address indicated on the back of the application: Honors College Application.
• A complete Honors College Application includes:
  • Application
  • Essay
  • H.S. Transcript
  • SAT and/or ACT scores
  • Two Letters of Recommendation from teachers with the Honors College Recommendation Form
• All of your application materials can be sent directly to the Honors College; however, if you have mailed some of your materials (transcripts, test scores, etc.) to the Admissions Office, the Honors College can obtain copies for your application.
• Beginning in September, the Honors College will send periodic reminders to those applicants who are missing pieces of their application.
• Once your application is complete it will be reviewed by the Honors Committee. You can expect a letter in the mail indicating your Honors College admission decision. Letters are mailed beginning in late November and continue through the spring semester.
• You will receive information via regular mail about scholarships and housing in January and information regarding Freshman Orientation starting in late May.
