Academic Honors

Standards regarding eligibility for academic honors are applicable to all undergraduate students. Administration of these regulations is the responsibility of the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, who is not empowered to waive any of the provisions. Under extraordinary circumstances, a student may be granted relief from these regulations by the Faculty Senate through a petition to the Grade and Academic Appeals Committee. Petition to the Grade and Academic Appeals Committee must be made no later than November 1st for December graduates and no later than April 1st for May graduates. August graduates must also appeal by April 1st of the semester prior to the summer in which they expect to graduate.

Semester Honors - Three honor rolls recognizing academic achievements are published each fall and spring semester. Only students whose term GPA is based on a minimum of 12 credit hours (excluding developmental studies courses and other courses with grades of P) and who receive no grades of F, FA or I, are eligible for recognition. Freshmen with a GPA of 3.00 3.49 are listed on the Freshman Honor Roll; the names of undergraduates who have earned a GPA of 3.5 to 3.9 appear on the Dean’s List. Any student whose GPA is 4.0 is included on the President’s List.
