Honour Society
The Life Sciences Honours Society (LSHS) seeks to recognize outstanding performance in the discipline and was created as a way of encouraging students of the Life Sciences to aim higher and achieve more. The Society’s main goal is for its members to graduate with high honours (First or Upper Second Class). Twelve (12) members will make up the society (2 from each level and the remaining 4 from any level). Once a student is inducted, he/she is required to maintain the minimum required GPA in order to remain in the society. The student who remains consistent will be dubbed a "Golden Member". Members are also encouraged to become members of the Biology Students Association.
Semester I, 2019-2020 performances were used to select the first batch of inductees.
Criteria for Selection
The Life Sciences Honours Society is open to all Faculty of Science & Technology Preliminary and Introductory students, and Advanced Level students who are not graduating. Membership is limited to persons who:
- are enrolled in the Faculty of Science & Technology, Mona Campus
- are pursuing a Major/Programme in Life Sciences
- possess a minimum GPA of 3.60
- Preliminary and Introductory Level members of the Honours Society are the top three students emerging from the class after each semester's examination. New Advanced Level students are selected based on their Level 1 grades in Life Sciences. Returning Advanced students are chosen as a result of their performance in completed Advanced Level courses.
Membership is revised every semester, is based on academic performance, and can be revoked if Biology grades fall below a B average.
