The 56 semester hours at EIU and the 40 semester hours of graded courses may not be waived.

Students who qualify for degrees with distinction wear an appropriate chevron as part of their academic attire at commencement and their names appear in the commencement program as being awarded Degrees with Distinction. All grades earned at EIU are counted in computing the cumulative GPA. Grades earned during the final grading period are not used for compiling the tentative list developed for commencement. Transcript notations of graduating cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude are based on the student's total cumulative grade-point average, including the final grading period.
Note: the calculation of GPA for degrees with distinction will be based only on work taken at EIU.
