4.0 Medallion

Students graduating with a bachelor's degree with an overall 4.0 GPA are eligible to receive a college medallion on a green ribbon, which may be worn with their academic regalia during commencement. Students must have a 4.0 on all ABAC and any transferred coursework from other institutions, including college courses taken as dual enrollment in high school.

 Guidelines:

  • 4.0 overall GPA

  • Minimum of 60 hours taken at ABAC

  • No disciplinary academic integrity action

Graduating students' academic records will be reviewed for anticipated 4.0 status based on all academic work at the end of the semester prior to the commencement ceremonies. Students may wear the 4.0 Medallion based on this anticipated status.
