DMHP Courses

Academic Requirements

DMHP students commit to the honors cohort class sequence upon acceptance into the program. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they are taking the appropriate prerequisite courses in order to stay on track in the cohort sequence. Students should avoid taking the non-honors section of an honors cohort class (unless approved by DMHP staff).

For additional requirements, including GPA and participation, consult the DMHP Handbook.

To remain in good standing, DMHP students must meet the following requirements:

Freshmen

Cumulative UT Dallas GPAs will be evaluated at the end of the fall and spring semester of freshman year. If a student’s UT Dallas GPA is below 3.25 at the end of the fall semester, they will receive an email notification from DMHP. Any freshman whose UT Dallas GPA is below 3.25 at the end of the spring semester will be dismissed from DMHP.

Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors

Students must maintain a cumulative UT Dallas GPA of 3.25 or higher each semester to remain in good standing with the program.
