Academic Recognition

It is the policy of the Board that superior academic achievement be recognized. A college credit student enrolled in six or more credit hours and a post-secondary adult vocational (PSAV) student enrolled in 180 contact hours (six credit hours) will be eligible for the President's and Dean's Honors list.

• A student making a grade point average of 3.75 or above will be placed on the President's List for a period of one term.
• A student making a grade point average of 3.25 to 3.74 inclusive will be placed on the Dean's List for that term.

Graduation Honors and Honors Diploma

College credit and PSAV students are eligible to be considered for graduation honors if they have been in attendance at Seminole Community College for at least two full terms. The appropriate honors are recorded on the students' diplomas and their names are so identified on the graduation program. The honors are based on scholastic achievement at all colleges and universities attended as follows:

Grade Point Average Honor

• 3.2 - 3.49 Cum Laude
• 3.5 - 3.79 Magna Cum Laude
• 3.8 - 4.0 Summa Cum Laude

College Credit students who have earned at least 23 hours in Honors courses and have a 3.2 GPA will receive an Honors Diploma and be recognized at graduation.

The Science Merit Diploma is awarded to those who complete the required courses with a minimum GPA of 3.3.

Recognition of Phi Theta Kappa and Phi Beta Lambda is posted to the student's transcript and diploma at the time of graduation.

Note: Some Collegewide functions may be temporarily suspended due to an on-going database implementation project.
