| What GPA levels are associated with different Honors statuses at Sinclair? |
| Answer / Solution |
|
- A 2.8 cumulative GPA is the minimum needed to take a course for Honors credit. As we mentioned above, if you don't have a GPA yet, then this doesn't apply to you. If you have an established GPA and it is below a 2.8, you are not eligible to take a class for Honors. You may qualify for the Fresh Start if you have been away from Sinclair for some time and have returned and been doing well in class during your second attempt here.
- A 3.25 cumulative GPA is recommended to enter the Honors Scholars Program. Students who enter the Honors Scholars Program whose GPA drops below a 3.25 are considered probationary members.
- A 3.4 cumulative GPA is required to graduate with Honors. This is a function of the Registrar's Office and may be considered equivalent to magna cum laude graduation
- A 3.5 cumulative GPA is required to qualify for the Academic Excellence Scholarships. Students must also be Honors Scholars.
- A 3.5 is also required to enter Phi Theta Kappa, with more than 15 credit hours already passed. You do NOT need be an Honors Scholar or a Phi Theta Kappa member to take honors courses.
- A 3.9 cumulative GPA is required to graduate with High Honors. This is a function of the Registrar's Office and may be considered equivalent to summa cum laude graduation
