The following Honor Societies utilized the application portal in 2022:
I missed the deadline. Can I still apply?
No. The portal cannot be reopened. However, there are more honor societies to explore on mysource. Search for Honor Society category for a detailed search.
When will I be notified about selections?
How do I know if I was NOT selected?
Some honoraries send notifications if a student is NOT selected, but some chose not to notify students directly. CCHS does not send rejection emails on behalf of the 4 senior honor societies or outstanding student awardees.
I met all the criteria, have a 4.0, and I’m highly involved. There must be a mistake and I was not selected.
The Senior Honorary and Outstanding Student Award process at The University of Alabama is HIGHLY selective. Meeting the criteria does not equal acceptance. Many students apply, most exceeding the criteria, and there are a limited number of applicants selected. This is a highly competitive process. We encourage you to not be discouraged, but consider applying again next year. There are many qualified applicants that go through the selections process and this is not a reflection of your collegiate success or amazingness.
I made a mistake on my application. Can I fix it?
Students should contact the sponsoring organization directly regarding any application issues. See https://honorsocieties.sa.ua.edu/outstanding-student-awards/ for contact information.
When will I be notified?
You may or may not be notified prior to Honors Day. Some organizations notify the award winners, while others do not. If they have been selected to win an award, they and their family will be invited to the Honors Day Ceremony.
It is up to each sponsoring organization whether they send rejection notifications.
Did my application go through?
Student should contact the sponsoring organization.
How many groups will my student be inducted into? Did they receive an award?
Some family members want to know the status of their student because they are trying to decide if they should attend. Parents listed on their students application will receive an email notification of their’s students selection to one or more honors. To preserve the “surprise” element, we do not divulge which groups the student was selected into.
Is the ceremony a big deal?
Yes, it is one of the longest standing traditions at The University of Alabama.
Ceremony Logistics?
Logistics can change based on weather. We will provide additional details via email. However, the following things to consider if you plan to attend:
