Academic Merit before graduation is recognized by placement on the Dean's List. Superior scholarship is recognized at the completion of fall and spring terms by publication of the Dean's List. Undergraduate (freshman-senior) degree-seeking students are eligible to receive this honor. Students must complete a minimum of 12 credits, receive a minimum of a 3.500 term grade point average, and have no grades of F, outstanding incompletes or repeat grades during the academic term.
Each year in February, SBE faculty and staff may nominate a student or small group of students for this award. The nomination must include an explanation of the meritorious action that warrants recognition. Examples (not an exhaustive list) of meritorious activities are:
Note: This is not for a high GPA or a good class grade. We have other awards for that.
At graduation three types of merit awards can be received --- Senior Merit, Cum Laude Merit and completion of the Honors Program. Those who qualify only after all credits have been counted will also receive honors at that point.
