GRADUATION & CONVOCATION
Graduation with Distinction
Graduation with Distinction recognizes graduates with high academic achievements and is applied at graduation. If you have a Graduation Grade Point Average (GGPA) of 3.70 or higher, you will receive a credential “with Distinction.”
Your GGPA is calculated using all the MacEwan courses you used for program completion. Graduation with Distinction appears on both parchments and transcripts. If you achieve a credential with Distinction, you wear gold honour cords with your regalia.
Graduation with Distinction is different than other academic standings, such as the Dean’s List. If you are on the Dean’s List, you are not guaranteed to graduate with Distinction.
