General
requirements:
To graduate with honors from Calvin
College a student must complete:
- at least six honors
courses overall (18 hours minimum), including at least two
honors courses outside the major, with a minimum cumulative GPA
of 3.5; and
- all departmental requirements
for graduation with honors in the major. (See Departmental
Requirements for Graduation with Honors.)
- NOTES:
- An "H" grade in a
regular Interim (January) course does not count toward the total
of six honors courses.
- One cannot graduate from the
college with "general honors," but only with honors in a major.
- Normally, only one honors course
may be taken during the final semester of the senior year, unless
permission has been granted by the Director of the Honors Program.
REMINDER: Students who seek
to graduate from Calvin College with honors must complete an "Application
to Graduate with Honors" and submit it to the Honors Program Director
no later than February 15
in their senior year. (See Application
to Graduate with Honors.)
