Special Reminders

 

As stated in the Bulletin under “Academic Procedures and Information,” students are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the requirements of the University.  Students in the Honors Program are encouraged to check their progress with the Honors Office regularly-especially in the junior year.  Choose your courses wisely
 
If a grade in an Honors course is changed or an “I” (Incomplete) completed, it is the responsibility of the student to inform the Honors Program office.

You must have a 3.500 GPA to be eligible to be graduated with general honors.

If a member of the program acts in a manner inconsistent with Honors Program policies or objectives (for example, accepting an Honors research position and not complying with the stated rules, or is put on disciplinary probation by the University), he or she is subject to dismissal from the Program.

Students who successfully fulfill the Honors Program requirements are recognized at the annual Honors Day Convocation held the day before graduation in May. General Honors is noted on the transcript and on the diploma. 

Please visit the Honors Program website  Graduation Honors for specific information regarding degrees cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude or contact the  Honors Program Office.  The required graduation GPAs are unique to the school or college from which the student is graduating.
