The top 10% of undergraduates from each college receive academic recognition.  Approximately 60 days before the commencement ceremony, graduation applicants who will be receiving recognition will be notified in MyNEVADA. 

The calculation is based on the grade point averages earned by the graduating classes for the previous two academic years.  Because the graduation ceremony occurs before grades are final for the term, the academic recognition values listed in the graduation program and announced at the commencement ceremony are based on each student's grade point averages for the prior term.  Final grades are included in the calculation of the recognition values that appear on the diploma and transcript

Refer to the Academic Recognition section of the General Catalog for more detail on the policy.
