Academic Graduation Honors

Undergraduate Students:
Undergraduate students who complete bachelor degree requirements and have met the residency requirements at UIW (refer to your catalog--excluding pass/fail, developmental, ESL courses) are eligible to graduate with honors. The level of honor is determined by the GPA achieved in all college-level semester hours attempted, to include transfer courses.

Graduate and Doctorate Students:
Graduate students who complete their programs with a 4.00 average graduate with distinction. Honors are not awarded for doctoral level degrees.

Honors announced during Commencement ceremonies are anticipated honors, based upon all classes completed and for which grades are posted. Grades for classes in which you are currently enrolled will not be used in the calculation of announced honors but will be used in the calculation of final, posted honors. Grades for these courses will not be posted to your academic record until after Commencement. Posted honors, which may differ from the announced anticipated honors, will be based upon the over-all grade point average, to include transfer work, calculated by the posting of the final fall semester grades.

Students who graduate with honors receive their honor cords during the line-up on Commencement day prior to the Processional.
