I certify the above information to be true and correct to the best of my knowledge. I authorize the release of transcripts to the representative of the College of the Canyons Honors Program to verify my GPA to ensure that I maintain a 3.25 GPA while enrolled in the honors program, and contact information to potential transfer institutions. I understand that I need to earn and maintain a UC GPA of 3.5 or higher by the time they are wanting to be TAP certified and in order to be considered a COC Honors completer. I agree to abide by the Santa Clarita Community College District regulations regarding Academic Honesty. These can be found in the College of the Canyons catalog and the schedule of classes.
