The College of The Bahamas believes that students demonstrating high ability through their performances as evidenced by a stipulated GPA and/or contribution to the institution should be recognized publicly as models in the academic community of learners.
Honours calculations are based on a minimum of 12 semester hour credits of new coursework. Students who have withdrawn from or failed a course, who have received an incomplete (I) grade and who are repeating a course (except those courses which may be repeated for credit) are ineligible for this award. Courses that are graded on a pass/fail basis are not included in honours calculations.
