However, 6 hours of community service events is required per semester. You may complete your community service hours at anytime throughout the Fall semester. If a conflict exists between your work or school schedules, and the events scheduled, please contact an Executive Board member to make alternative arrangements for completion of requirements.

According to bylaws set forth by the Tri-Beta National Office, a new member's GPA will not influence his/her entrance into the honor society. However, a regular, or continuing regular member must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA, which will be monitored by Dr. Niles (Advisor).

I understand that my inability to comply with the requirements established by the Tri-Beta Executive Board does not entitle me to a refund of dues or any monetary contributions (ie. fundraising paraphernalia). Also, I will become ineligible for induction into the Tri-Beta National Biological Honor Society.
