Resolution to Modify Existing University Policy
Concerning Calculation of Scholastic Honors
[as amended]

WHEREAS recognition of academic achievement is an important and vital factor affecting recruitment and retention of undergraduate students at SIUC; and

WHEREAS it is the goal of this faculty to recognize all undergraduate student for high scholastic achievement through a process that is consistent, equitable, and clearly communicated to and understood by each and every students desiring to be be recognized;

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the faculty senate recommend for adoption the following modified policy for calculation of scholastic honors, and that the 2004 Undergraduate Catalog reflect this change (note that both the Existing Policy and Proposed Modified Policy are provided for comparison):

Existing Policy (approved by the Faculty Senate, Spring 2000):
Proposed Modified Policy:
Each spring semester a Scholastic Honors Day convocation is held to recognize students exhibiting high scholastic achievement. Qualification for recognition is determined at the end of the third week of the spring semester. If, at that time, a full- or part-time student has attained an undergraduate grade point average at SIUC of 3.50 or better and, if applicable, a 3.50 average or better in all-work (including transferred) credit hours, and the student has reached the benchmarks of 12, 45, or 75 credit hours of coursework or is graduating, Scholastic Honors will be awarded and the student will be invited by the university to the next regularly scheduled Honors Day ceremony of that student's respective college. Each academic unit schedules its own convocation, and each Scholastic Honors student is recognized individually on this day.
