Semester
Honors. At the end of each semester, academic semester honors will be issued to
all full-time undergraduate students who earn 12 or more semester hours in the
Fall or Spring (6 or more in the Summer) with grades of A, B, or C and a
semester grade-point average of 3.000 or better. Students who receive grades of
D, F, U, or I in the given semester are not eligible for the honors. When an I grade is changed to a regular

hours in the Fall or Spring (6 hours in the Summer)
but are classified as full-time students may also qualify for semester honors
if they meet the remaining criteria.

taken;
