Value Statement
The Austin Community College District (“ACC” or “the College”) values academic excellence and recognizes students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement.
Administrative Rule
Scholastic achievement by students will be recognized by the College at the completion of each semester in the following categories:
- Chancellor’s Honor Designation
A student who has completed twelve (12) or more semester-credit hours of college credit course work at Austin Community College, and who achieved a grade point average (GPA) of 4.00 for that semester will be eligible for the Chancellor’s Honor designation.
- Scholastic Excellence Designation
A student who has completed twelve (12) or more semester-credit hours of college credit course work at Austin Community College, and who achieved a GPA of 3.75 or above for that semester will be eligible for the Scholastic Excellence designation.
- Scholastic Leadership Designation
A student who has completed twelve (12) or more semester-credit hours of college credit course work at Austin Community College, and who achieved a GPA of 3.50 or above for that semester will be eligible for the Scholastic Leadership designation.
Notification of the achievement will appear on the student’s official ACC transcript. A notation of the honor will appear on the diploma if the student’s cumulative GPA upon graduation qualifies the student for a scholastic achievement designation.
