荣誉点 & 活动

Body

The Point System is designed to motivate Honors students to remain active and engaged.

 


 

As a general rule, students can earn points for all activities for which they are not receiving financial compensation or academic credit. 

 


 

研究生s with Honors medallions

点目标

  • To graduate with Honors: 120点
  • To earn an Honors Medallion: 150点

Recommended milestones: 30 points per year

注意: Meeting either threshold satisfies only part of the Honors graduation requirement; for more on the complete fulfillment of this requirement, 参考 活动的目标 下面的部分.

Exceptions can be made for Transfer students or for students who joined the Honors program after their 1st year, as well as on a case-by-case basis. Please consult with the Program Coordinator or Director.


 

In earning their points through a variety of different activities, Honors students develop a wide array of professional skills while also building a sprawling network of connections both at Saint Mary's and beyond.
