Term Academic Honors:
FRCC provides an opportunity for students to be recognized with Academic Honors, on a term-by-term basis. The College has three recognized Honors: (1) Dean’s List, (2) Vice President’s List, and (3) President’s List. Students who qualify will receive a notation for that term on their official transcripts. Students must complete a minimum of 12 college-level credits during the term to be eligible for this recognition.
Term GPAs required to qualify for these Term Academic Honors are as follows:

Graduation Honors:
Graduation honors recognize outstanding academic achievement throughout a student’s academic career. The honors are awarded to students who complete the requirements for an associate degree, complete at least 30 credit hours at FRCC, and earn a 3.5 or better cumulative GPA at FRCC. Only completed college-level courses taken at FRCC will be included in the GPA calculation used for graduation honors. The three levels of recognition are defined as follows and will be posted on the student’s transcript:
