Honors Housing (Sage Hall)
Purpose: To provide a learning community that fosters high academic achievement and engagement in social and academic activities with other high-achieving students and with the Sage community. In order for such an environment to be achieved, the house must be a place where all members have the utmost respect for each other and themselves. As a member of this selective house, there are expectations of resident involvement within the Honors House as a Sage learning community.
For the 2026-27 academic year, one floor of Sage Hall will be reserved for Honors Housing.
As a member of the Honors House, you must:
- Be enrolled in the honors program and/or have a 3.4 GPA.
- Be at least a sophomore by academic status at the time you occupy the house.
- Attend all house meetings with the Resident Assistant or faculty advisor.
- Attend at least two house programs per semester.
- Attend one play or concert on campus at least once during the academic year.
- Assist in the planning of one house program for the entire campus once a semester; this program topic shall be determined by the members of the house.
- As a member of the honors house we encourage you to work with the admissions office to offer opportunities for prospective students to meet honors house residents. Some examples of ways to assist are: hosting an overnight student, being on an admissions panel, giving tours of Honors Housing, or attending a reception.
Honors students will be given first priority; non honors students who wish to room with a current honors student will receive second priority. Please indicate if you are a non-honors student requesting to live with an honors student.
*There is no guarantee that a non-honors student will be allowed to live in Honors Housing.
