Academic Awards and Honors

    Before F2009

  1. All undergraduate students with a GPA of 3.50 or higher per semester will be placed on the "Dean's List.
  2. All undergraduate students with a GPA of 4.00 or higher per semester will be placed on the "President's List."
  3. The determining factor for these awards will be the student's semester GPA and not the student's overall GPA. Thus, these awards theoretically may be granted to a student every semester.
  4. Only undergraduate students who are enrolled in 12 or more hours during a semester may be considered for the "Dean's List" or the "President's List.”
  5. A student whose overall GPA is above 4.00 after the completion of all degree requirements will graduate with the distinction of Cum laude (With Honors).

    From F2009*

     KIMEP provides recognition for those students who achieve the highest level of scholastic performance. At the end of each regular semester, the Office of the Registrar compiles a list of the top performing students. All full time students, undergraduate or graduate, with a semester GPA of 4.0 or higher are placed on the “President’s List”. All full time students, undergraduate or graduate, with a semester GPA of 3.75 or higher are placed on the
    “Dean’s List”.

    At graduation, KIMEP recognizes students with outstanding academic performance by conferring a degree with honors. There are three levels of honors:
    Cum Laude (With Honors),
    Magna Cum Laude (With High Honors),
    Summa Cum Laude (With Highest Honors).

    Graduating with honors is noted on the student’s transcript and is printed on the Diploma.

    Honors applies to both undergraduate and graduate students.

    To graduate Summa Cum Laude a student must have a grade point average of 4.25 or higher.
    To graduate Magna Cum Laude a student must have a grade point average of 4.15 or higher.
    To graduate Cum Laude a student must have a grade point average of 4.00 or higher.

    A student receives the highest level of honors for which s/he is eligible.

 

*According to the decision of AC (minutes dated November 10, 2010) it was allowed to extent the old requirements for honors awards to students till the end of Summer 2011 to satisfy the students of 2007 entry.

The Academic Council will not process further requests on delaying new requirements for honor awards.
