Tau Sigma Honor Society

Tau SigmaWelcome to the website for the University of Louisville Chapter of Tau Sigma Honor Society. Established the first chapter in the state of Kentucky in the fall semester of 2005.

We encourage you to join us as we serve transfer students at UofL and nationwide.

Tau Sigma is an academic honor society designed specifically to recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students. Tau Sigma offers early involvement opportunities, the opportunity to assume leadership positions, the opportunity for assimilation into the student population, increases the visibility of current transfer students, and enhances the academic reputation of current transfer students.

Those eligible for membership are students who transfer to a four-year college or university with at least one full year's academic credits (24 transferable credits); obtain at least a 3.5/4.0 or rank among the top 20% of all new transfer students in the first term at the institution to which they transferred; and obtain this GPA or rank while taking a normal course load leading to a bachelor's degree. Life-time membership is conferred upon induction and maintaining the grade-point average needed for initial eligibility is not required.

As members of Tau Sigma, students are offered the opportunity to be involved at the University of Louisville and in the community. Tau Sigma is involved in several campus wide activities including Transfer Orientations, Welcome Weekend and an informal mentoring program for transfer students through the ULtra office in Davidson 106. Tau Sigma also offers social opportunities for members and new transfer students and will be an integral part of the recruitment and retention of students.
