Honors Candidacy Evaluation
The Honors Council reviews the complete file of each candidate for Honors. Honors council will also review in detail cases when student’s GPA falls below the 3.2 minimum for extenuating circumstances, and/or cases with mixed or negative evaluations. Honors Council will also convene to review exceptional theses endorsed by the faculty mentor/committee and determine Honors Thesis Awards.
Commencement
Once we have received the required documents students will be issued the Honors cord that will be worn at the Commencement ceremony.
Names of our Honors Degree candidates will be listed in the Commencement Program and will be given special acknowledgement during the graduation ceremony.
