Minimum Requirements Set Forth by the National Organization

Membership in NEHS is by invitation, extended through a local chapter on behalf of the national organization. Membership in NEHS is an honor bestowed on individuals selected for their accomplishments in the field of English and in overall academic achievement.

The NEHS Constitution sets forth the following minimum requirements for active membership:

• Attendance at the school the equivalent of one semester prior to being considered. (If special circumstances merit, the Faculty Advisory Council may waive the semester regulation.)
• Completion of the equivalent of two semesters of English prior to induction as members.
• The achievement of a minimum overall and English grade point average of a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) prior to induction as members.
• Submission and payment of the new member enrollment via NEHS Connect.

*These criteria may be raised, but not lowered, by the local chapter, but criteria must be based solely on demonstrable academic matters.
