For the winter and spring 2020 terms, a student is eligible to receive “Term Distinction” based on their average in all courses taken during a term while in a degree-granting program. In order to receive “Term Distinction”, the following must be true:

• The term must have at least one alpha/numeric grade in the average.
• A minimum term average of 80.0% must be achieved.
• An academic standing for the term of Promoted, Good, or Excellent.
• The term cannot have an INC, IP, MM, or UR. When these grades are resolved to alpha/numeric grades, the term’s average will be reviewed for eligibility.

Note: Students may be deemed ineligible at the discretion of the associate dean – undergraduate studies.
