以优异成绩毕业vs. PTK荣誉协会会员

 

To officially graduate with Honors 需要一个 总绩点3.5或以上 for all degree-applicable units, from all colleges attended. 总体GPA是确定的 at the completion of the term in which a student has applied for an Associate Degree. 

 

注意: Graduating with Honors applies to Associate Degrees only, Certificates of Achievement and Certificates of Specialization are not eligible. 

 

毕业典礼致辞, the OVERALL GPA used for Honors recognition is as follows:

 

Summer and Fall graduates: Final OVERALL degree-applicable GPA used when degree was 发布. 

 

Spring candidates: The OVERALL GPA at the completion of the 8th week of classes is used for Honors eligibility/recognition during the yearly 毕业典礼.

 

Once FINAL grades have been 发布 for the spring term, this OVERALL GPA is used to determine official eligibility for graduating with Honors which will be 发布 on the college transcript and diplomas.  

 

注意: 为 Spring degree candidates, the GPA used for the Commencement Program and the final GPA at the completion of the semester may differ. 这可能会影响荣誉 eligibility for recognition at the ceremony vs. the final status 发布 on the college 成绩单和文凭，我.e. Honors status may change as final grades are submitted.
