荣誉信贷

学生 can only propose a thesis/project for the honors courses that were previously approved by their department or major; that is, 每学期4学分(XXX 430), 每学期6学分(XXX 432)或只在秋季8学分(XXX 431). 荣誉和独立项目小组委员会(SHIP)将 approve any other credit arrangements (for example, 5 credits in the fall 和 3 in the spring).

SHIP will typically 不 overrule a departmental endorsement of an honors application; if you don’t think an honors proposal is strong, 请在系里投反对票. 如果学生的专业GPA很低, the SHIP chair will write to the student to explain that it might affect honors determination.

计算平均绩点

学生 applying to the 部门的荣誉 Program receive an individual computer-generated list of courses, 成绩和GPA课程分数, 列出所有符合条件的课程和成绩计入GPA.

帮助你的学生 计算他们的GPA:

  • Take the information in the columns titled "单位" 和 "获得的学分" 和 copy it into the appropriate columns.
  • Use the first 两个 columns on the left for "Major Credit" 和 "Major Course Points."
  • Use the last 两个 columns on the left for "Outside Major Credit" 和 "Outside Course Points."
  • Total the course points column for each category 和 divide by the total credits.

举个例子, the information in bold below is what needs to be written in the appropriate column to the right.

年级  单位 x  级分 =  获得的学分
A-  4.00    3.7    14.80
