Your name will be announced at commencement and this distinction will be noted on your transcripts and diploma. Honors at graduation will be awarded if you have completed at least 45 units of work in the university with a grade-point average that places you in the appropriate percentage of the graduating class as indicated in the following table. Each of the three units-completed groups in the table is considered separately. All students who tie for last position in an honors category will be awarded honors in that category. Each year outstanding senior students in engineering are recommended by the faculty of the College as nominees for the M. S. Ghausi Medal.
Academic excellence is the primary basis for selecting the recipient of the award.
