Academic Honors
Semester Honors
The Dean's List and the President's List are honors that may be earned each semester. Students who complete 12 or more degree credits in a semester (excluding developmental credits) with a GPA of 3.5 or higher are named to the Dean's List, and students who complete 12 or more degree credits in a semester (excluding developmental credits) and achieve a semester GPA of 3.8 or higher are named to the President's List. Both honors are automatically denoted on the student's transcript. Students will also receive a letter of recognition from the Dean's or President's office or both, depending on which honor the student earns.
Graduating With Honors
Only those students seeking an associates or baccalaureate degree are eligible for honors recognition. The appropriate honors are recorded on the student’s transcripts and diploma. The honors, based on scholastic achievement, are as follows:
| GPA | Honor |
|---|---|
| 3.40-3.59 | Cum Laude (with honor) |
| 3.60-3.79 | Magna Cum Laude (with high honor) |
| 3.80-4.00 | Summa Cum Laude (with highest honor) |
Commencement Honors
Honors recognition for the commencement ceremonies is calculated based on cumulative course work completed from prior semesters. However, the current semester will be included for official graduation honors recorded on diplomas and transcripts.
