Tau Sigma National Honor Society

 

Tau Sigma National Honor Society, an academic honor society for transfer students, was formally installed on campus and inducted 93 members at its inauguration in April 2009. There are currently 313 members in UT Dallas' Beta Rho Chapter.

Tau Sigma National Honor Society offers you an opportunity to be a member of an honor society for transfer students. Tau Sigma recognizes the academic excellence of transfer students, while encouraging and promoting involvement in the university community, especially in activities that assist other transfer students in making a successful transition.

Students are invited to join this organization after completing one semester (12 semester credit hours or more) at UT Dallas and earning at least a 3.5 UT Dallas GPA. Invitations are typically mailed in February. For more information about this organization, visit the Tau Sigma National Honor Society web site.
