*Please read "Honors Transfer Program Eligibility" link for more details. Why Join The Honors Transfer Program? As four-year universities become increasingly selective, transfer students need every edge to assist them with their transfer admission. Honors students are in high demand at selective universities such as UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCLA, Pomona, UC San Diego, Pitzer and more. What Honors Students Experience:
Honors Scholar Designation To achieve the Honors Scholar designation, students must complete at least 4 or 5 honors courses (minimum of 15 semester units) with a transferable GPA of 3.50 or higher. Each honors course completed is noted with Honors on a student's transcript. Students who complete the 15-unit program receive the designation Honors Scholar posted on their transcript and their accomplishment announced at Cabrillo's graduation. Both honors courses and the Honors Scholar designation will stand out on university applications and improve students'chances or being admitted to selective college and universities.
