Honor Points

Scholastic averages are computed by multiplying the credit hours by the honor point equivalent. For example, a 4 credit course evaluated as "A" will be counted as 16 honor points (4 credits multiplied by 4.0 = 16). Grades of "I," "W," "P," "IP," "AU," "NC," and "PC" are not computed in determining Honor Points, and have no impact on a student’s scholastic average.

A cumulative average of 2.0 (C) and an average of 2.0 (C) or better in one’s major, minor, and/or certificate program are required for graduation. Students are required to monitor their average in their major and minor. If students are at risk of falling below the required average, the Academic Standing Committee will notify the academic department of their major.
