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 批准任何其他学分安排(例如,秋季5学分,春季3学分).

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, SHIP主席将写信给学生,解释这可能会影响荣誉决定.

计算平均绩点

申请系里荣誉课程的学生会收到一份电脑生成的课程列表, 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:

  • 将标题为“单元”和“获得的成绩点”的栏中的信息复制到相应的栏中.
  • 左边的前两栏分别是“主修学分”和“主修课程积分”."
  • 使用左侧最后两列“专业外学分”和“课程外学分”."
  • 将每个类别的课程积分列相加,然后除以总学分.

举个例子, 下面加粗的信息是需要写在右边相应栏的内容.

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

学生必须有其专业顾问签署的完整表格 他们系的荣誉主任.

申请的最后期限
