To receive this honor a student shall be a full-time (12 semester hours Fall and Spring or eight semester hours Summer), regular undergraduate, having a semester's grade average of 3.1 or higher. ADP courses will not be included in the calculation of grades for honors.

Commencement Honors for baccalaureate degrees shall include:

cum laude 3.5 quality point average
magna cum laude
3.7 quality point average
summa cum laude
3.9 quality point average

In determining commencement honors, transfer students shall receive full value for grades and credits providing that the transferring institution is regionally accredited.

Honors Program. In addition to the semester honor roll and graduation with honors, Tennessee Technological University provides a full Honors Program to stimulate the academically gifted student to achieve his or her full potential. Admission is limited to students with a 3.5 or better cumulative quality point average or who do exceptionally well on entrance examinations. Those students who complete Honors Program requirements for graduation have "in cursu honorum" inscribed on their diplomas and transcripts and are so designated on the graduation program. For further information, contact the director of the Honors Program, and see "Honors Program" in the Index.
