Honor Roll
Students with outstanding grade-point averages are recognized with honors at the end of each semester. To be eligible, students must be enrolled in a minimum of nine (9) credit hours (in which grades A-F are recorded). The semester grade-point average, not the cumulative grade-point average, is used to determine Honor Roll eligibility.
Honor Roll requires a 3.0-3.49 GPA for the semester.
Provost's Honor Roll requires a 3.50-3.99 GPA for the semester.
President's Honor Roll requires a 4.0 GPA for the semester. Honor Society (Phi Theta Kappa) - Phi Theta Kappa International Honors Society for two-year colleges acknowledges students for their efforts in the hallmarks of scholarship, leadership, fellowship, and service to the community. KCKCC's Mu Delta Chapter students have been ranked by Phi Theta Kappa in the top 25 colleges internationally. Each year Phi Theta Kappa students work on projects to present at regional and international conferences. The Mu Delta Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa is open to students who have proven themselves capable of academic excellence. To join, students must have achieved a minimum 3.50 cumulative grade-point average and must have completed a minimum of 12 credit hours at KCKCC. Potential members are invited to join each semester. After induction, members must maintain a 3.00 grade-point average to remain active.
