A graduating student who has not participated in the COEHP honors program and has earned at least 50 percent of his or her college credits at the University of Arkansas and has maintained a grade-point average of 4.0 through the semester preceding graduation shall earn the designation of Highest Distinction. Students whose cumulative grade-point average places them in the top 10 percent of their graduating class and have a GPA of > 3.5, but who have not completed the Honors Program are eligible for the designation With Distinction.

Change Delivery Site/Method (Complete all sections of the form except Proposed Name in II, section III, and section IV.) Change Total Hours (Complete all sections of the form except Proposed Name in II, section III, and section IV.)
SECTION VI: Justification
Justify this change and state its likely effect on any other degree program (including those outside the school or college). Identify any program or program components (other than courses) to be eliminated if this program is implemented. (Program and course change forms must also be submitted for such related changes.) The justification of the change in procedure for recognition of academic achievement of both students participating in the College Honors Program and students who are not, but maintain high grade point averages, is to more definitively delineate scholarship efforts of students and appropriately recognize them for their endeavors. no program or program components will be eliminated.

Identify location in catalog of university, college/school, and department/program requirements which the student must meet in addition to hours in the major, but do not restate these requirements. State course requirements in the major and any allied areas, giving number of hours and specific courses; specify electives or elective areas and give numbers of hours and courses in elective pools or categories; identify any other course requirements.
