Students
Graduation with Academic Distinction
Approved by Academic Council 5/6/91; General Faculty 5/14/91;
Board of Trustees 6/6/91
Academic achievements of graduating
seniors are recognized at commencement. Students
achieving high grade point averages are recognized with
the following distinctions: Summa
Cum Laude -- grade point average of at least 3.8; Magna Cum
Laude -- grade point average of at least 3.6; Cum Laude --
grade point average of at least 3.4.
Academic honors are based
on meeting the minimum honors grade point average requirement
for work attempted at Wright State
University and for all college work attempted as of the end
of the term in which a student graduates -- that is, by the
day on which term grades are due. In the calculation
of cumulative grade point averages for honors, only the first
grade earned for a course will be counted. To be eligible
for academic honors at graduation, students must have earned
at least 45 graded credit hours at Wright State University.
The
responsibility for computing honors will rest in the registrar's
office. Furnishing the registrar with complete
copies of all previous transcripts (presently housed in the
various dean's offices) shall be the responsibility of the
transfer student. |
