Graduation with Honors: A student may graduate with honors from MCA by achieving the Honor Roll for at least 4 years, 3 of which must be in high school. Exceptions may be granted on a case by case basis, with the mutual consent of the Dean of Students and Academic dean, for graduates meeting MCA graduation requirements, but only having attended MCA for three years. The exception would apply if such graduates are deemed to have sufficiently complied with standards required for a designation of Graduation with Honors, as determined in the sole discretion of the Dean of Students and Academic Dean. No exception need be granted, and exceptions granted shall not constitute precedent.
