Previous-school transcripts or equivalent official records may be used when HCA records are incomplete. There is no minimum length-of-enrollment requirement at HCA.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">An invitation to apply does not guarantee membership. Candidates submit an application packet and character reflection; two current core academic teachers submit confidential evaluations directly to the chapter advisers. A five-member Faculty Council reviews eligible candidates&#8217; records, including evidence of service, leadership, character, and citizenship. Final selection is by majority vote. Students become members upon induction.<\/p><h3 data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Founding-Year Candidate Timeline<\/h3><ul><li data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><strong>October 28, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Invitation distribution and application window opens.<\/li><li data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><strong>November 20, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Candidate packets due.<\/li><li data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><strong>November 30\u2013December 11, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Faculty Council review.<\/li><li data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><strong>December 16, 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Selection notifications.<\/li><li data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><strong>January 6, 2027<\/strong> \u2014 Orientation \/ induction rehearsal.<\/li><li data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><strong>January 13 or 14, 2027<\/strong> \u2014 Tentative founding induction ceremony; final date to be announced.<\/li><li data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><strong>January 20, 2027<\/strong> \u2014 First official chapter meeting.<\/li><\/ul><h3 data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Application Materials<\/h3><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Invited students may pick up a printed Candidate Packet from Mrs. Baker in Room 610 beginning October 28, 2026. <strong>Completed packets are due November 20, 2026.<\/strong> A downloadable copy is provided below under &#8220;Important Documents&#8221; for convenience; students do not need to print the packet themselves.<\/p><h3 data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Member Expectations<\/h3><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Members are expected to maintain a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA, attend chapter meetings, participate in chapter service projects, and demonstrate the five NJHS pillars.
