Honors Graduate

In order to qualify for designation as an honor graduate, the student must meet the following criteria:

Associate Degree

  1. Must have completed at least 45 college-level semester hour credits at South Plains College when an application for graduation is submitted.
  2. Must be either enrolled at South Plains College in a course of study that would complete all specified program requirements or be able to complete them during the succeeding summer session.

Certificate of Proficiency

  1. Must have completed at least 10 college-level semester hour credits at South Plains College when an application for graduation is submitted.
  2. Must be either enrolled at South Plains College in a course of study that would complete all specified program requirements or be able to complete them during the succeeding summer session.

The following cumulative grade point averages (GPAs) determine which students qualify as honor graduates:

4.00 Highest Honors
3.85 to 3.99 Honors

Students who raise their GPAs as a result of spring and/or summer semester grades, and therefore qualify for honor student status, will have the accomplishment noted on their final academic record.

The honors eligibility will be based on your final GPA at the time of your graduation application.
