Honors in Your Major
To graduate with honors in your major, you must complete an HONORS CLEARANCE CHECKLIST by April 1 st in the year you
expect to graduate in May. Most commonly, this means by April 1 st of your senior year. Failure to submit this checklist by this
date will mean that you will not receive honors in your major. You cannot complete the checklist before February 1 st of the same

automatically assigned to all students who graduate with a 3.5 or higher.
