InfoApplication Portal
The 2024 Honor Society Web Application Portal opened January 27, 2025 and closed at 11:59 p.m. CST on Sunday, February 16, 2025. Prior to applying, please review the membership criteria. Once the application portal closes it cannot be reopened. There are an additional 25+ Honor Societies that are not using this application portal. Students interested in a Society not listed above should contact that Society directly using the contact information provided on this website or on that of The SOURCE.
Application Information
Prior to beginning your application you will need to know your overall GPA, UA GPA and the total number of credit hours earned plus those you have in-progress. To retrieve this information please review the GPA and Credit Hour Instructions.
As you prepare for inductions be aware that you will be asked to pay membership dues if selected. Cost of membership dues varies among groups. Therefore, we have created a fee scale to help you estimate potential costs prior to induction. If an honorary is not listed, contact the group directly. Additionally, only selections notifications are sent. CCHS does not send emails to those who are not selected, as that is at the discretion of the organization.
If you are interested in applying for one of the Outstanding Student Awards, you should visit the Awards section and then select the desired classification.
