Incoming First-Year Students
All High
School Seniors who have been accepted to and plan to attend
UC Davis in Fall are invited to apply for admission to the
Davis Honors Challenge (DHC). The Davis Honors Challenge
differs from most honors programs in that it does not use
high school GPA or SAT scores as criteria for admission.
To be considered for Regular
Decision admission to DHC, incoming first-year students
must submit an on-line application by the deadline. DHC
also offers any Early
Decision application option. Prospective students are
invited to attend a DHC information
session in early Spring.
Course Requirements
During the first academic year,
participants take two courses with separate DHC challenge
sections and one problem-oriented multi-disciplinary seminar.
These seminars are limited in size so that participants
receive substantial individual attention from faculty and
actively participate in analyzing complex, contemporary
problems. First-Year Students must take two honors challenge
sections or honors courses, and one honors seminar in order
to complete DHC requirements. DHC students must earn a 3.25
UCD Cumulative GPA in order to receive transcript notation
and remain in the program. Learn more about DHC Courses
and Requirements.

for some students, knowing whether they will be admitted
to the program is a factor in deciding to come to UC Davis.
If you are a High School Senior

like to know if you are accepted by the Davis Honors Challenge
before selecting the University you will attend,
you may submit an application for early decision to the
DHC.

2008. Students who apply for early decision will
be notified via e-mail prior to the SIR deadline. Students
whose applications are not accepted through the Early
