Honors and Awards

Dean's Honors Lists

The Dean's Honors Lists consist of the names of those undergraduate students who have distinguished themselves by achieving during the previous semester the grade point averages required with a minimum of 12 credit hours earned and who have no Fs or NPs, during the same period. Students with a grade point average of 3.750 or higher will be placed on the Dean's High Honors List. Students with a grade point average of at least 3.500 but less than 3.750 will be placed on the Dean's Honors List. Students whose records include Incompletes become eligible for the Dean's Honors Lists once all Incompletes have been converted to final grades. Having earned a place on the Dean's Honors List or Dean's High Honors List is noted on the transcript.

Latin Commencement Honors 

Latin Commencement Honors are awarded to the top 35 per cent of the graduating class based on overall grade point average.

  • Top 10 per cent: summa cum laude
  • Next 10 per cent: magna cum laude
  • Next 15 per cent: cum laude

The specific GPA cutoffs are determined each year after the awarding of August degrees on the basis of the GPAs of students who graduated over the past five years.  These cutoffs are then applied to degrees awarded in the following January, May, and August.

To be eligible for Latin commencement honors, candidates must have:

  1. Earned a minimum of 54 credit hours for evaluative grades (A, B, C, D) in residence at the university.
  2. Attained the required percentile ranking on the basis of all work for which grades are averaged at the university.

Honors in the Major

Some majors offer outstanding students the opportunity to complete an honors program. Students who participate in an honors program in the major and satisfy the requirements for such a distinction, as specified by the major, may qualify to receive the degree "with honors in the major." The academic representative for the major can provide information regarding requirements for graduation with honors in the major.

Phi Beta Kappa

Phi Beta Kappa, a national honor society, recognizes outstanding scholarship in the arts and sciences. The Alpha Chapter of Ohio, established at Western Reserve College in 1847, was one of the first ten chapters established nationally.  Students may qualify for election to membership in the second semester of the senior year. A few outstanding students may be elected to membership as juniors.

Tau Beta Pi

Tau Beta Pi is a national honor society that recognizes full-time engineering students for outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service.

Mortar Board

Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes full-time senior students for outstanding scholarship, leadership, and service.

Fellowships and Scholarships

Outstanding students may obtain information about nationally-competitive fellowships and scholarships (Goldwater, Truman, Rhodes, etc.) in the Undergraduate Advising Support Office.

Departmental and Collegiate Awards

At academic awards assemblies at the end of each spring semester, the university recognizes the outstanding achievements of individual students.  Departmental awards are based on achievement in specific academic disciplines. Some departmental and collegiate awards are based on a combination of scholarship, leadership, and service.

The collegiate awards for students with the best academic records take into account credit load and grades; students who opt for the Pass/No Pass grading option in a course will not be eligible for best academic record awards unless the original evaluative grades submitted by the instructor to the Office of the University Registrar would qualify them.
