Students in the Business School must have 60 in-residence hours taken for a letter-grade to qualify for Graduation with Honors. Courses with CR (credit) will not count as part of the 60 required hours for eligibility.

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.
