It's worth noting that the Academic Excellence program at our institution acknowledges students who achieve the highest academic marks in Bachelor's Degree, Associate Degree, and Undergraduate Certificate programs. This program has three levels of recognition: Honor Roll, Honor Roll with Distinction, and a President's List.
The exact criteria for these academic honors at our institution are not publicly detailed, but based on general academic honors programs and similar categories from various institutions, the Honor Roll usually requires a minimum cumulative GPA threshold during a semester or academic year (often around 3.0 to 3.5). The Honor Roll with Distinction typically requires a higher GPA than the Honor Roll, usually above 3.5 or 3.7, and the President's List or equivalent highest honor often requires a near-perfect GPA, generally 3.8 or above, or even a 4.0 GPA.
For precise requirements at our institution, it is recommended to consult the official program website or student handbook, as academic honor definitions and GPA thresholds vary widely.
In addition to Oscar Merritt and Stefanos Dardanos, several other students have made their mark in their respective degree or certificate programs. Chloe Koster, for instance, is on the President's List, pursuing an Associate of Occupational Studies in Illustration. Brett Yokota, on the Honor Roll with Distinction, is also studying in the Illustration department, while William Esque is on the Honor Roll, pursuing an Undergraduate Certificate in Graphic Design.
