prior to graduation. The student must receive approval from both the academic departments and the Office of the Registrar. The student may choose to graduate with both degrees at one commencement or different commencements. A student may petition the Registrar and the school faculty to surrender the first certificate or master’s degree to avoid the required extra 24 units. The programs in Talbot School of Theology are accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). ATS requires that a mini- mum of 50% of Talbot’s degree programs be taken in residency (i.e., not transferred in nor shared with any other program). (ATS Standards, 1998) Graduation Honors Honors at graduation for master’s program recipients are based on grade point average, overall performance, Christian values, and a minimum 24-unit residency. Honors are not automatically granted. Faculty may raise the standards at any time. Honors are granted by the faculty and may be denied or higher standards may be applied. The university honors have been defined by the Academic Standards Committee as: GPA Honors................................................................................................. 3.50-3.69 High Honors...................................................................................... 3.70-3.89 Highest Honors................................................................................ 3.90-4.00 Honor Honors recognized in the graduation ceremony may be changed based on the processing of final grades. GPA standards for honors must be met with no rounding of numbers. Graduate students should check their program section in the catalog for honors qualification and honor society recognition. Commencement All degree requirements must be completed before the student may participate in commencement ceremonies. Those students completing all their coursework during interterm or summer session must contact their graduation counselor to be cleared for graduation. For fall commencement, all requirements must be completed before participating in graduation. It is expected that all graduating students will be present at com- mencement ceremonies except in cases of extreme emergency or other similarly difficult circumstances. Permission to graduate in absentia must be secured at least one month prior to commence- ment from the school dean or from the Office of the Registrar.
