Late Grades

Any student with changes to his/her grade(s) (completion of incompletes, improved grades) after January 30th, should review the above criteria to determine if he/she now qualifies for either award.

The Honors Program will review all requests and notify students of their award status. As appropriate, students' names will be posted on the website for approved requests.
