Distinction at graduation is awarded to associate degree candidates who are in the top 12 percent of their college's graduating class, have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.50, and have earned at least 30 credits at the University.

The 12 percent should be divided into 2 percent Summa cum Laude, 4 percent Magna cum Laude, and 6 percent Cum Laude.

The distinction table is created each September for the coming fall/spring semesters and summer session, based on the grade-point average information of previous graduates.
