The annual event gives high school students and their families the chance to learn about the honors student experience at YSU and potential majors; tour the honors residence hall and apartment building; and interact with current Honors students, staff and faculty.

Interested honors-eligible high school students should register online. To be eligible for membership in the Honors College, high school seniors must have an overall GPA of 3.5 and a minimum ACT score of 26 or SAT score of at least 1240.
