Honors Program Recognition

Graduation with Honors Program Recognition

The diplomas of graduates receiving associate of baccalaureate degrees will show recognition of completing the honors program based on the following tiers:

Honors Associate
Completion of a minimum of twelve Honors hours

Honors Fellow
Completion of a minimum of eighteen Honors hours

Honors Scholar
Completion of a minimum of twenty-one Honors hours, representing all requirements of the Honors program, including the First Year Experience course, an Honors leadership course, and an Honors Capstone course

These tiers are announced at commencement based on a student's completed honors program hours and those enrolled in the graduating semester. If at Commencement, a student's completed honors coursework awards a lower tier then this will be assigned to the student's final record. The student's official transcript will reflect the appropriate honors tier based on the completed honors hours. Honors tiers do not apply to graduate students.
