The Grand Challenges Living Learning Community and the GT Honors Program. Each of these dynamic programs offers you the opportunity to join a community of students who live and learn together with close faculty interaction.
In the Grand Challenges Living Learning Community, students explore pressing world issues while building team-based problem-solving skills to prepare them for lifelong leadership in taking on grand challenges. Like-minded students who share a passion for innovation work in cross-disciplinary teams to design and implement solutions to real-world problems with the support of highly engaged faculty. Grand Challenges is designed for highly capable students who are motivated to make the world a better place.
The GT Honors Program is designed for students who are curious, open-minded, eager to learn and explore, willing to think and reflect, and deeply drawn to collaborative dialogue, inquiry, and discovery. Students select from a menu of active-learning core classes and small interdisciplinary classes, all led by passionate faculty who support students in driving their own learning experience. Students live and learn together in the Honors Program residential community and participate in social, cultural, and service activities at Georgia Tech and beyond.
You are welcome to apply to both programs. If accepted to both, you must choose to join one or the other because students in each program live and learn together. Applications are due January 31, 2015.

Fall 2014 Honor Cords Distribution Schedule
Georgia Tech will provide honor cords for undergraduate students based on their previous semester’s cumulative GPA. Students are expected to pick up their honor cords at one of the following locations:
· Monday, December 8 - Friday, December 12 - Office of the Registrar, Tech Tower, Suite 104

Graduates are permitted to wear additional items if given by officially sanctioned Georgia Tech honor societies or student organizations. Degree Candidates are responsible for obtaining from the student organization any honors accessories to which they are entitled.
Please note that the distribution of honor cords for commencement and the notation of tentative honors in the commencement program are based on whether the student meets the minimum number of hours (60) and the required minimum GPA for the three levels of honor at the time they enter their graduating term. In other words, honors at commencement are based on the hours accumulated and the GPA that exists at the beginning of the graduating term.
GPA Requirement with a minimum of 60 institutional credits earned:
· 3.15 for HONOR (double white cords)
· 3.35 for HIGH HONOR (double gold cords)
· 3.55 for HIGHEST HONOR (double white and gold braided cords)
