5-4-6: Undergraduate Scholastic Honors/Commencement

Dean's List

To encourage academic excellence and progress, full-time undergraduate students who earn a semester GPA of 3.7 or better are recognized by placement on the Dean's List.

Latin Laude Honors

Because spring semester grades are due after the commencement ceremony, for the purposes of the May commencement ceremony all honors and awards will be based on the calculations of the previous fall term records. Final honors and awards will be posted on the student's transcript at the time that they complete their degree requirements and will be based on the final cumulative grade point average.

Undergraduate students pursuing a Bachelor's degree who have completed at least 60 semester hours of credit at Colorado Christian University may be eligible for Laude Honors. To achieve Laude Honors at graduation, students must have the following cumulative GPAs at the beginning of their final semester of study: Cum Laude (with honor), 3.5; Magna Cum Laude (with high honor), 3.7; Summa Cum Laude (with highest honor), 3.9.

University Honors

Undergraduate students pursuing a Bachelor's degree who have completed less than 60 semester hours of credit at Colorado Christian University may be eligible for University Honors. To achieve University Honors at graduation, students must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better while attending Colorado Christian University.

Graduation

Students are expected to file a Graduation Application prior to the end of the semester in which they will complete 90-92 credits (end of the junior year).

Commencement Participation

Students are normally expected to complete all requirements toward fulfillment of their degree prior to participating in commencement. Because there is only one commencement ceremony per year, CCU will make an exception to this policy under the following conditions:

  1. An undergraduate student has no more than 6 credits of work outstanding or no more than student teaching remaining and is registered to complete those credits in the upcoming summer or fall semester.
  2. Graduate students who have no more than 6 credits of work outstanding.
