Degrees with Distinction

The faculty and student association of Keuka College believe the achievement of high academic standards is very important. In order to promote, encourage, and recognize academic excellence, Degrees with Distinction are awarded to graduating seniors upon the recommendation of faculty.

Eligibility for an award of Degree with Distinction is based on the earned cumulative grade point average as follows:

Transfer students, in order to qualify for any of the Degrees with Distinction, must have taken a minimum of 34 semester credits at Keuka College. In the computation of commencement honors, only coursework completed at Keuka College will count towards the calculation of a Degree with Distinction. A student is thus eligible for a Degree with Distinction based on his/her Keuka College work alone.

A student may not obtain a higher honor than his/her Keuka College grade point average indicates. 

Degrees with distinction are not awarded in graduate programs.
