Academic Honors

Students whose academic performance warrants recommendation and recognition receive academic honors.

  • The President’s List (High Honors) recognizes students enrolled in a degree program and earning a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher.
  • The Vice President’s List (Honors) recognizes students enrolled in a degree program and earning a cumulative GPA of 3.3 to 3.74.

At commencement ceremony, the student with the highest cumulative GPA in an associate degree program receives the President’s Award. To receive this award, the student must have completed all required credits at WMCC, excluding transfer credits and/or credits by examination. To be considered for the award, students must submit the Intent to Graduate form to the Registrar by the last scheduled day of classes in the spring semester. Competition for this award is traditionally very strong with students winning by fractions of a point.
