Graduation Index Requirement
For a bachelor's degree, the required
minimum graduation index is 2.0.
Graduation With Distinction
- A candidate for the baccalaureate degree with distinction must have
a minimum of 65 hours of credit earned at Purdue included in the computation
of the graduation index. (This does not include pass/not-pass credits.)
- The minimum graduation index for graduation with distinction in each
school shall be no less than the 90th percentile of the graduation indexes
of the graduates in each school, for the spring semester, provided the
index is at least 3.3. The minimum graduation index so determined in
the spring for each school shall be applied for graduation with distinction
for the subsequent summer session and fall semester.
- Of those graduates who qualify for distinction under these rules for
the spring semester, the three-tenths of the baccalaureate graduates
having the highest graduation indexes shall be designated as graduating
with highest distinction, irrespective of the schools from which they
graduate. The minimum graduation indexes determined for graduation with
highest distinction shall be applied for graduation with highest distinction
for the subsequent summer session and fall semester. Purdue University
