Each semester, undergraduates who complete a full course load and earn outstanding grades are recognized by inclusion on the University Honors list.  Each time a student is included on the list, his or her official record also shows the award of University Honors for that semester.

To be included, a student must earn at least 45 grade points, a grade point average of at least 3.50 on courses completed in residence, and must have no incomplete grades (symbol X).
