What is the Honors Program Bookstore Award?The Honors Program Bookstore Award is a personal account of $300 per semester at the Campus Bookstore. This account may be used to purchase books and supplies. Supplies include notebooks, calculators, flash drives, art supplies, backpacks, agenda books, dictionaries, writing instruments, lab goggles, nursing uniforms, etc. You must be physically present to sign for all purchases deducted from your Honors Award account, so you cannot use the Honors Award to make online purchases. If you are eligible for the Bookstore Award, you will continue to receive it EVERY semester as long as you maintain full-time student status at UMass Dartmouth AND remain on track to graduate as a Commonwealth Scholar. How does the Honors Program Bookstore Award Work?In order to activate your Honors Award, you must first stop in the Campus Bookstore office to receive a four-digit account number. The bookstore office is inside the store, to your right as you enter. IMPORTANT! Do NOT confuse the Honors Bookstore Award with the UMass Pass-based “book voucher”! They are two completely different things. The Honors Bookstore Award does NOT involve the use of your UMass Pass to make purchases. For more information about UMass Pass-based book vouchers, contact the Campus Bookstore. The Honors Award is available only during fall and spring semesters. It is not available for summer or intersession classes. Spring 2010 Honors Awards will be available for use in January 2010. The deadline for use of the Spring 2010 Bookstore Award is March 31, 2010. If you return an item purchased with your Honors Award account, the amount of the return will be credited back to your account. You cannot receive credit for a return in cash unless you made the purchase in cash. If you return an item after the March 31 deadline, the credit will be added to your Fall 2010 Honors Award. If your academic performance causes you to lose the Honors Award, however, you will lose any credit as well. Who is eligible for the Honors Program Bookstore Award?Four categories of students are potentially eligible for the award:
Requirements for remaining in good standing in the Honors Program
*The minimum requirements for graduation as a Commonwealth Scholar are:
Students who fall slightly below the minimum requirements for good standing in the Honors Program may be placed on "Honors probation" for one semester. Students on “Honors probation” do NOT receive the Bookstore Award, but will start receiving it again if they meet the minimum standards at the end of the probationary semester. Students who remain “off track” at the end of the probationary semester are dismissed from the Honors Program. |
