The Honors College considers all first-year students who apply to the University of Maine for membership in Honors; no additional materials are required.  Students who qualify for automatic admission will receive an invitation in their letter of admission to the university.  We strongly encourage any student who does not receive an automatic invitation to submit an application for our consideration.
