Honor Societies

Adult students have many opportunities to be inducted into honor societies at Cedar Crest. Students may be inducted into Alpha Sigma Lambda, the honor society for adults. Also, there are a number of honor societies representing different departments and majors.

Alpha Sigma Lambda

• Adult students who exhibit excellence in academic achievement may be inducted into the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society.
• 
• The society, now 60 years old, is a national honor society. Students must meet the criteria of the honor society and be matriculated Cedar Crest students.
• Students are required to complete 24 credits at Cedar Crest. These college credits must not include transfer credits. All credits must be taken through and graded at the matriculating institution and must be included in the student's cumulative GPA.
• At least 12 of the student's total credits should be earned in the Liberal Arts/Sciences. If the student has not earned twelve Liberal Arts/Sciences credits within the 24 credits completed at the matriculating institution, accepted transfer courses may be used to meet this requirement.
