Concordia University Ann Arbor 2009–2010 Academic Catalog 3.50 - 3.69 GPA = Cum Laude 3.70 - 3.89 GPA = Magna Cum Laude 3.90 - 4.00 GPA = Summa Cum Laude Honors announced during the “commencement ceremony” will be determined based on the GPA at the end of the fall semester. Honors for “transcript entry” are determined at the end of the final semester. While the number of credit hours earned during the graduation term does not affect the determination of graduation honors for recognition at Commencement, quality points earned during the graduation term are considered in calculating the final GPA which determines the graduation honors for the transcript. Therefore, any announcements made at the ceremony are tentative and subject to change. Participation in commencement Undergraduate and graduate students will submit an application to graduate at the time of registering for their final academic semester of coursework, not including their student teaching or family life internship semester. CUAA has one commencement ceremony in May of each year. Students who have earned a minimum of 102 credits of degree requirements at the end of the fall semester and who meet the minimum grade point standards for their degree program are eligible to participate in the commencement ceremony. Awarding of degrees The Registrar’s Office will award degrees 3 times a year; at the end of the fall, spring and summer semesters. Degrees are not awarded until all degree requirements are met, including all financial obligations to the university. Neither diplomas nor official transcripts are issued until all financial obligations are met to the university. Although there are three-degree conferral dates, there is only one commencement ceremony. Note: Neither participation in the commencement ceremony, nor having one’s name printed in the commencement program is confirmation that a degree has been conferred. Occasionally, students finish all of their degree requirements well before the next degree conferral date. Under these circumstances, the student can request, from the Registrar’s Office, a formal letter of certification verifying that all degree requirements have been met and the expected date of degree conferral. These letters are provided to the student directly, to employers or admissions offices. Students who request a letter of certification must also provide the name, title, and address of the party to whom it will be sent. Eligibility to receive a baccalaureate or associate transcript A student is eligible to receive an official transcript indicating successful completion of a degree immediately upon meeting all academic requirements and financial obligations. An unofficial transcript is mailed to the student immediately upon the completion of all academic requirements. Additional transcripts may be sent upon written request from the student. Dean’s List An undergraduate student who completes 12 or more graded credits during a given semester and has a grade point average for that semester of 3.5000 or higher is eligible for the Dean’s List for that term. At least 12 of the semester credits must earn letter grades other than P, NC, AU, I, or W to qualify. All I–Incomplete grades for the given semester must have a final grade assigned before a student is eligible for the Dean’s List. Division Scholars Each spring, departments elect a limited number of students for formal recognition who have distinguished themselves in their field.

Concordia University Ann Arbor 2009–2010 Academic Catalog Majors are blocks of courses in an academic subject or a field of several related subjects. Majors require a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit. Majors, however, may require more than 30 credits. Minors are similar to majors but require a minimum of 20 credits. Minors, however, may require more than 20 credits. Emphases are particular sets of requirements within a major that differentiates areas of study in that major. Typically this takes the form of a specific set of courses that the student is required to take within the major in order to complete the given emphasis. It does not require credits over and above the number required by the major itself. Concentrations are particular sets of requirements accompanying and in addition to the major that enhance the learning outcomes of the major. Concentrations require a minimum of nine credits in addition to the associated major. Emphases and concentrations must be taken as part of or in addition to the required credits in the major. Credits listed in this catalog are always semester credits.
