To graduate with honors, a student’s transcript is evaluated by the registrar for degree requirements and the student’s Grade Point Average (GPA).

• Degree students must have completed a minimum of 30 semester hours in residence at MCC.
• Certificate of Proficiency students must have completed a minimum of one-half of their certificate program in residence at MCC.
• Transfer classes do count toward total credits earned for graduation but are not counted toward the graduating student’s GPA.

Degree with Honors - Degree students with a cumulative 3.75 GPA for courses completed at MCC before graduation will be certified by the registrar as graduating with honors.

Certificate of Proficiency with Honors - Certificate of proficiency students with a cumulative 4.0 GPA for courses completed at MCC before graduation will be certified by the registrar as graduating with Honors.

Students graduating with honors will be recognized on the commencement program.
