Q. Can a high school student who is taking college credit be a member of Phi Theta Kappa?

A. Yes. A high school student enrolled at a two-year college who achieves at least 12 credit hours of associate degree course work and the required cumulative GPA is eligible for membership in Phi Theta Kappa.

Q. Can a community college student who has already earned a bachelor's degree be a member of Phi Theta Kappa?

A. Yes. A student with a bachelor's degree who is enrolled at the community college is eligible for membership if that student completes at least 12 hours of associate degree course work with the required cumulative GPA at the two-year college they are presently attending.

Q. Can a part-time student be eligible for membership in Phi Theta Kappa?

A. Part-time students may be eligible if they have accumulated over two or more academic terms the number of hours used by their institution to designate full-time status (usually 12 credit hours on a semester system). The decision to declare part-time students eligible is an option of the local chapter and/or college and should be addressed in each chapter's bylaws. Phi Theta Kappa strongly encourages the eligibility of part-time students, and currently more than 80 percent of all chapters do offer part-time students the privilege to be inducted.
