====Honors program admissions====
The most impressive incoming undergraduate students are invited to join the honors program by the Office of Admission. Incoming freshmen who did not receive an invitation are allowed to apply for one after completing their first semester with at least a 3.8 cumulative GPA. To remain in good standing with the honors program, honors students are required to maintain at least a 3.8 cumulative GPA and enroll in honors classes their first year in the program. Honors students have access to special privileges and learning opportunities on campus.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://honors.tulane.edu/content/requirements/ |title=Requirements &#124; Honors |access-date=October 19, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191019141227/https://honors.tulane.edu/content/requirements/ |archive-date=October 19, 2019 |url-status=live }}</ref>
