of Engineering which will have final authority to recommend to the President and the
Board of Control the conferring of the degree.

 REGULATIONS

 Honor Student Designation.-To be eligible for the designation of Honor Student
in the College of Engineering a student must have earned an honor point average of
3.20 or higher in all work taken while in the Upper Division. To be eligible for such
designation he must also have been registered in the College of Engineering for at least
one semester and have received credit for a minimum of 16 hours of work. A student
who meets these requirements will be notified in writing by the Dean's Office.
 An Honor Student, so long as he maintains the necessary scholastic standing, may be
granted by the Dean, upon recommendation of the department head, certain privileges.
 Graduation with Honors.-To graduate with Honors, a student must have com-
pleted the work of the Upper Division and must have received an honor point average
of 3.20 or higher in all work taken while registered in the Upper Division.
 Graduation with Honors is not dependent upon the student's having been desig-

Honors.
