The following awards for academic achievement are presented to graduating students at Sheridan's Convocation ceremonies.

If you're a recipient of one of these awards, it will also be noted on your official Sheridan transcript.

Honours

Students whose Program Cumulative GPA at the time of graduation is equal to or greater than 3.60 and less than or equal to 3.89 will be awarded the status of Honours.

Exclusions: Recognition of Achievements and Sheridan Certificates are not eligible for consideration of Honours standing.

High Honours

Students whose Program Cumulative GPA at the time of graduation is equal to or greater than 3.90 will be awarded the status of High Honours.

Exclusions: Recognition of Achievements and Sheridan Certificates are not eligible for consideration of High Honours.

Sheridan Silver Medal

Sheridan's Board of Governors awards a silver medal to the graduate with the highest Program Cumulative GPA in each program. In order to qualify, students must have a High Honours academic standing. In the event of a tie, the Program Cumulative GPA will be calculated using final grades rather than the 4.0 equivalent. Only one silver medal will be awarded for each qualifying program.

Exclusions: Recognition of Achievements and Certificates awarded through Continuing and Professional Studies are excluded from consideration for silver medals.

Governor General's Collegiate Bronze Academic Medal

The Governor General's Collegiate Bronze medal is awarded to the student who achieves the highest overall average upon graduation from a diploma-level postsecondary program (minimum two-year, full-time duration).

Governor General's Silver Academic Medal

The Governor General's Silver medal is awarded to the undergraduate student who achieves the highest academic standing upon graduation from a bachelor's degree program.

Sheridan's Office of the Registrar will identify potential candidates based on grades. In the event of a tie, the Office of the Registrar will request from the Faculty all numeric grades for courses within the program of study in order to determine the final award recipient.

Exclusions: Ontario College Certificates and Graduate Certificates are excluded from the Governor General's awards, as are certificates awarded by Continuing and Professional Studies.
