Full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students who achieve a 4.0 GPA (all “A” grades) in any spring or fall semester are recognized as TCU Scholars by the academic deans. In that semester, they must have earned credit for at least 12 hours; “I” and “P” grades are not counted. TCU Scholars may audit one course without fee any time within a year of their designation.
