Revision to Rule 11 approved on 3/21/2005 by Faculty Senate
and signed by the President on 10/18/2005. This rule change is effective 10/25/2005.
Please see Current Rule 11 for up to date information.

An undergraduate student who completes a semester schedule of at least 15 hours or a summer session schedule of at least 12 hours with no grade lower than C and with a grade point ratio of not less than 3.5 for the semester or for a summer session shall be designated “distinguished student.” A student who, under the same circumstances, achieves a grade point ratio of at least 3.75 also shall be designated as a member of the “dean’s honor roll.” First semester freshmen must complete a semester schedule of at least 15 hours with no grade lower than a “C,” no Q-drops and with a grade point ratio of not less than 3.5 for “distinguished student” designation and a 3.75 for “dean’s honor roll.” Official notification of these designations will be issued to the student by the dean of the student’s college. The hours earned on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory basis shall not be included in determining minimum hours required for the designation of “distinguished student” or “dean’s honor roll.” A grade of I disqualifies a student from being considered as a “distinguished student” or for the “dean’s honor roll.” Students who use grade exclusion must still meet the minimum of requirements in hours and grades to qualify for the appropriate honors. Grades of Q, W, and NG may not be included in the 15 graded hours.  Only undergraduate courses or graduate courses used for the undergraduate degree will be used in either honors calculation.
