Honors

The Dean's List is compiled at the close of each semester. It includes all full-time students earning a grade point average of 3.00 or above, excluding grades in those courses which do not carry credit toward graduation. A student who receives a grade of "I," "X," or "PR" will not be considered for the Dean's List for that term.

Graduation with honors falls into three categories:
Summa Cum Laude is awarded for a cumulative GPA of 3.8 to 4.0;
Magna Cum Laude is awarded for a cumulative GPA of 3.6 to 3.79;
Cum Laude is awarded for a cumulative GPA of 3.2 to 3.59;

To be eligible to graduate with honors, a student must complete at least the last 60 hours in residence at Lincoln University.

All academic coursework from other colleges and universities bearing the letter grade designations of "A," "B," "C," "D," or "F" shall be included in the computation of the student's official grade point average for the purpose of granting convocation and graduation honors. Those courses which do not carry credit toward graduation at the institution where they were taken shall not count toward academic honors at Lincoln University.
