Commencement Honors
- Pertain only to the Baccalaureate degrees (BA; BFA; BS), or to the baccalaureate portion of dual degree programs (BS/MS)
- Are based on the GPA (grade point average) at the time of completion-in-full of all degree requirements
Honors are announced at the Commencement ceremony are based upon the cumulative GPA(s) earned as of the Tuesday prior to the Commencement Ceremony. Honors will also be printed on your diploma.
The Baccalaureate degree with distinction is awarded to:
- Students who have completed a minimum of 60 credits of actual 51福利社 course work,* and whose cumulative 51福利社 GPA (grade point average) at the time of completion in-full of all degree requirements is:
- 3.30 - 3.49: Cum Laude distinction is accorded
- 3.50 - 3.69: Magna Cum Laude distinction is accorded
- 3.70 - 4.00: Summa Cum Laude distinction is accorded
- Students with fewer than 60 hours of course work completed at 51福利社 will be eligible for Commencement Honors provided that they meet ALL of the criteria referenced above AND both of the following:
- The GPA for 51福利社 course work must be appropriate to the honor
- The GPA for all college work (all accepted transfer courses and 51福利社 courses) must be appropriate to the honor.
No honor will be bestowed that is not supported by both the 51福利社 GPA and the "all college work" GPA. Example: If a student has a GPA of 3.30 in 51福利社 course work but a 3.20 GPA in "all college work" (all accepted transfer courses and 51福利社 courses), no honor would be accorded.
* Credits not included as actual 51福利社 course work include: Nursing validation exam credit; Credit for Learning from Life Experience (CLLE); challenge exams; cross registrations.
