Students who have fulfilled the requirements for an associate degree and have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher will be graduated with honors as follows:
3.90-4.00 Highest Honors—Summa Cum Laude
3.50-3.89 High Honors—Magna Cum Laude
3.00-3.49 Honors—Cum Laude
The appropriate honors designation will be included on the student’s academic record and diploma.
ACADEMIC FORGIVENESS POLICY
A student who desires to have inapplicable course work and related grades from a previous curriculum excluded for the purpose of meeting graduation requirements may submit a written appeal to the Registrar. Such a request should be submitted with an application for graduation after 75% of the course work in the present curriculum has been completed.
If approved, this action will generate a statement on the student’s academic record indicating the excluded courses and the revised cumulative grade point average.
Original entries for courses excluded under the terms of this policy and the actual cumulative grade point average will remain on the student’s record. When transferring to another college or university, a student may be held accountable for all attempts and grades associated with a course taken at Kellogg Community College.
COURSE EXEMPTIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS
A course exemption is a waiver of a course requirement in a degree or certificate based on an equivalent course, a course transferred to KCC, occupational skills, or personal experience.
A course substitution is the substituting of a required course in a degree or certificate with an alternate course.
Course exemptions and substitutions do not reduce the total number of credit hours required in a degree or certificate or in general graduation requirements.
You may request course exemption and substitution by contacting the chairperson, director, or coordinator of the degree or certificate program to discuss your exemption and substitution options.
