Graduation Honors

 

Graduation honors reflected on the final transcript will be recorded on the basis of the student’s entire academic history at Bellin College (not including any transfer or pass/fail coursework).

At commencement, the Graduation Honors list will be based on the cumulative Bellin College grade point average recorded at the end of the preceding semester.

Fall grades are used to calculate the honors listing for the May commencement ceremony. Summer grades are used to calculate the honors listing for the October and December commencement ceremonies. Graduation honors will be recorded on the final transcript. For undergraduate students to be eligible to graduate with honors, undergraduate students must complete a minimum of 44 credits in residency.
