Graduation with Honors

Graduation honors are awarded to students in a bachelor’s degree program whose cumulative grade point average (GPA) at the time of graduation ranks within the top 25% of that student’s academic college. A student must complete a minimum of 45 Wilmington University residency requirements in order to be considered for honors. A maximum of 15 credit hours of challenge by exam and/or prior-learning assessment credit can be applied toward the residency requirement.

Specific honors are based upon the GPA distribution (computed to three decimal places) within each academic college.
