The University Honors designation, the highest academic honor awarded to an undergraduate, is limited to those students who have demonstrated their capacity for sustained academic excellence of a high order. To be eligible for this honor, students must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 and must rank on the basis of cumulative grade point average in the upper 3 percent of their college graduating class on the basis of all work taken through the academic term prior to graduation. University Honors recipients wear orange and blue braided cords as part of their formal academic attire. As recipients of this honor, each of the following students will have his or her name inscribed on a bronze tablet that is displayed in the corridor of the University Library. For this reason, University Honors recipients are known informally as “Bronze Tablet Scholars.”
