Graduation

Thomas University awards the associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. Degrees will be conferred annually in the spring, upon the recommendation of the faculty, to students who have successfully completed all course requirements. All students are required to participate in graduation ceremonies. Exemptions are permitted by the dean only under exceptional circumstances. All students must have a minimum GPA of 2.0 in order to be eligible for recommendation for graduation. At least 25% of all hours earned toward any degree must have been earned at Thomas University.

Students who are awarded a bachelor’s degree may earn the distinction of graduating summa cum laude (4.0 CGPA), magna cum laude (3.75-3.99 CGPA), or cum laude (3.5-3.74 CGPA). Associate’s degree honor graduates are those students who graduate with a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher. GPAs for graduation honors are calculated using all hours attempted at all institutions attended through the end of the Fall semester preceding graduation. Honors will not be re-calculated after all grades are posted
