REGULATION 19 - DEGREE STANDING

When it has been certified that a student has met all of the requirements for a degree, the degree standing is determined on the basis of academic performance in Third and Fourth Years. The grades obtained in the final 60 semester hours of credit required for the degree are averaged, with degree standing accorded as follows:

  • 80% or higher: first-class standing
  • 70-79.9%: second-class standing
  • 50-69.9%: pass standing

After a degree has been awarded, the recipient’s transcript will indicate if first class or second class degree standing was achieved.
