2026 Honors Convocation

Oct. 2, 2026

Congratulations to Wyant College of Optical Sciences students who have achieved excellence in their undergraduate degree programs for the previous academic year. On October 2nd, 2026 the College hosted an Honors Convocation to recognize these students during the U of A Family Weekend.

The University of Arizona’s Office of the Registrar awards distinctions for the following:

  • Highest Academic Distinction to students who meet a 4.0 GPA with 30+ units
  • Academic Distinction to students who meet a 3.5 to 3.9 GPA with 30+ units

These distinctions are determined by completed and credited letter grades achieved from summer pre-session through the spring semester. Students must complete a minimum of 12 units each during the regular fall and spring semesters.

Students meeting distinction are invited to the Honors Convocation, regardless of whether they are in the Honors College.
