Dean’s List To be eligible, students must take a minimum of 12 credits of graded course work and attain a GPA of 3.4. Courses taken on a credit/no-credit basis may not be counted toward minimum credits necessary to be on the dean’s list. Any student receiving an F, NC, or NG is ineligible to be on the dean’s list.
Distinction and Honors Students who demonstrate high academic achievement in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree have certain inscriptions recorded on their official academic record and diploma. Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.600 or higher receive their degrees “with honors”. Those with a GPA of 3.75 or higher earn “high honors,” while those attaining a 3.9000 or higher receive the notation “with highest honors.”
Graduation Honors Undergraduates with a grade point average of 3.600 or higher will be recognized as graduating “with honors;” students with a grade point average of 3.750 or higher will be recognized as graduating “with high honors;” and students with a grade point average of 3.900 or higher will be recognized as graduating “with highest honors.” Computation of grade point averages for the determination of honors is based on all standard letter-grade courses carried since the student has matriculated at the University.
Intermediate Honors A certificate of Intermediate Honors is awarded to the top twenty percent of those who enter the University directly from high school or preparatory school and earn at least 60 credits of course work in their first four regular semesters. No more than twelve of the 60 required credits may be earned on a CR/NC or S/U basis. Advanced placement and transfer credits do not count toward the required credits.

To this end it shall invite to membership such persons as exhibit commendable personal qualities, worthy educational ideals, and sound scholarship. It shall endeavor to maintain a high degree of professional fellowship among its members and to quicken professional growth by honoring achievement in educational work.”
