Honors

Beginning fall 2010, Harper College will recognize academic achievement each semester by designating an academic recognition to students who meet the following criteria:

  • President's List
    Each semester, students who successfully complete 9 or more college level credit hours and achieve a semester grade point average of 3.75 or higher will be recognized as President's List students.
  • Dean's List
    Each semester, students who successfully complete 6 or more college level credit hours and achieve a semester grade point average of 3.50 or higher will be recognized as Dean's List students.

President's List and Dean's List Honors designations will be noted each semester on the student academic record. The total number of hours a student successfully completes will determine the designation received, based on the grade point average.

Graduate Honors Designation
Beginning fall 2010, Harper College will recognize the academic achievement of its associate degree graduates by designating Academic Honors to students who have completed a minimum of 45 semester hours of their coursework at Harper College and who meet the following criteria:

  • Cum Laude: 3.5 - 3.749 cumulative GPA
  • Magna Cum Laude: 3.75 - 3.899 cumulative GPA
  • Summa Cum Laude: 3.9 - 4.0 cumulative GPA

The official transcript will show honors designations based on the student cumulative grade point average upon completion of the associate degree program.
