Science Scholar
Graduating students and students promoted to 2nd, 3rd, or 4th year class standing with an average of 90.0% or better in the previous Winter Session will receive the notation "Science Scholar" on their records if they passed all courses completed and carried a course load of at least 27 percentage-graded credits. Students who were involved in an academic misconduct investigation may not be eligible for this notation.
For students in a cooperative education or an education abroad program who are registered at UBC for only one term in Winter Session, the minimum for the academic term at UBC is 12 percentage-graded credits.
For students in a Dual Degree in Science and Arts or in Science and Music, the overall course load is a minimum of 27 percentage-graded credits, and the minimum B.Sc. course load is 12 percentage-graded credits. The average of all B.Sc. credits, as well as the average of B.Sc. credits combined with the best credits registered under the other Faculty’s degree code (totaling at least 27 credits), must both meet the minimum stated above.
For students in a Dual Degree in Science and Education, the overall course load is a minimum of 27 percentage-graded credits, and the minimum B.Sc. course load is 21 percentage-graded credits. The average of all B.Sc. credits, as well as the average of B.Sc. credits combined with the best credits registered under the other Faculty’s degree code (totaling at least 27 credits), must both meet the minimum stated above.

Graduation Standing
The designation "with Distinction" will be entered on the degree parchment for any student who graduates while in good standing and who has achieved an average of at least 85.0% on 30 percentage-graded credits of Science courses numbered 300 or above designated as part of the program by the department or, if fewer than 30 credits are specified, approved by the Dean.
A specialization may specify one or more of the courses to be included in the 30-credit average. For all students completing an honours thesis, the course and grade will be included in the average.
