Distinction at Commencement

Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher at the end of the preceding fall term will be eligible to participate in the Commencement Ceremony with distinction. However, students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher at the end of the term in which they have applied to graduate to be eligible for the above listed distinction classifications. These students will have a notation added to their transcripts indicating such and are eligible to purchase and wear a gold sash at the Commencement.

Credits earned from other institutions will be included with the credits earned at Crafton Hills College when calculating the student’s cumulative GPA for graduation. For a guide to calculating a GPA, please refer to the How to Calculate Your GPA section of this catalog.
