Requirements to Graduate with Honors
No more than 20% of the May graduating class of each college/school may receive honors, high honors, or highest honors.
To be eligible to graduate with University honors, an undergraduate must have completed at least sixty semester hours at the University of Texas at Austin. Graduation with University honors is based on the average of all grades earned in courses taken in residence at the University, whether the courses were passed, failed, or repeated. Courses taken pass/fail are counted in the sixty-hour minimum, but only letter grades (including Fs in pass/fail courses) are used to determine the grade point average.
Percentage requirements are not applied to August and December graduating classes. The grade point averages for May graduates are applied to the following August and December classes to determine honors, high honors, and highest honors.
