Whereas, Graduation with Honors indicates high academic achievement; and

Whereas, it is the opinion of the Faculty Senate that Graduation with Honors should recognize a Grade Point Average (GPA) within the A range, and

Whereas, a GPA of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale is within the A range; and

Whereas, the other universities in the University of Alabama System designate a GPA of 3.5 as the lower end of the range for Graduation with Honors; and

Whereas, the present UAH criteria for Graduation with Honors specifies a 3.4 as the lower end of the range for Graduation with Honors;

Therefore, be it resolved that:
UAH adopt the following GPA criteria for Graduation with Honors to take effect Fall 1999:
Summa Cum Laude 3.90 and up,
Magna Cum Laude 3.70 - 3.899, and
Cum Laude 3.50- 3.699
