Tau Sigma National Honor Society
On This Page
Tau Sigma National Honor Society, an academic honor society for transfer students, was formally established at UT Dallas in 2009 and inducted 93 students in its inaugural cohort. There are currently over 200 members in UT Dallas’ Beta Rho Chapter.
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 the organization after completing one semester (12 semester credit hours or more) and earning at least a 3.5 GPA at UTD.
Invitations are sent during the spring semester after a student’s first semester at UT Dallas. For more information, visit the Tau Sigma National Honor Society website.
