With Latin Honors
Policy
WSU G.P.A. ranges for awarding
Latin Honors are presently 3.4 for cum laude, 3.6 for magna
cum laude, and 3.8 for summa cum laude. Of the thirteen Ohio
institutions, seven institutions have higher G.P.A. requirements for
each of the Latin Honors awards. Based on information the committee
collected, the Latin Honors policy for each Ohio institution is as
follows: Latin
Honors Policy Among Ohio
Universities. While the current WSU Latin Honors Policy was
approved by the Academic Council (faculty governance predecessor to
Faculty Senate) 5/6/91, the University Faculty 5/14/91, and the Board
of Trustees 6/6/91, the committee was unable to find any information on
the rationale of the proposal and its approval in comparison to other
institutions. Moreover, the committee was unable to find a national
higher education standard recommendation for awarding Latin Honors. The
committee felt
that in the best interests of WSU, the Latin Honors Policy be changed
to 3.5 for cum laude, 3.7 for magna cum laude, and 3.9 for summa cum
laude. The proposed change in policy will also affect student
eligibility for the "Deans List" of each college being that it is set
at the Latin Honors Policy. The committee recommends the following:
Second Degree Policy When students earn a second
degree from WSU, they are treated differently in the calculation of
their final G.P.A. if they earned the first degree from WSU compared to
if they earned the first degree from another institution. In the former
case, all WSU course work (first and second degree) is used in the
final G.P.A. calculation whereas in the latter case only WSU course
work (second degree) is used in the final G.P.A. calculation. Hence,
the two groups of students are placed on different playing fields for
second degree G.P.A. calculations and, in addition, for the awarding of
Latin Honors. The committee
recommends, via the following, that both groups of students be treated
equally by
calculating the G.P.A. for all second degree students based only on
second degree course work and grades.
The University Curriculum and
Academic Policy Committee adjourned for the 2004-05 academic year. The
next meeting of the UCAPC will be in the 2005-06 academic year in the
later part of September or early part of October.
