Graduation with Distinction

Documentary Studies Certificate students who have an overall grade point average of 3.3 or above may apply for Graduation with Distinction outside their major. Distinction, whether in the major or not, is an honor noted on the student's transcript that represents a high point in the student's academic career and can be beneficial to subsequent scholarly pursuits.

Final documentary projects completed for the Capstone Seminar in Documentary Studies, when accompanied by an additional 15-page paper and overseen by a committee of three faculty members, may qualify.

Interested students must apply for Graduation with Distinction by September 15 of their senior year. To apply for this program, please see the Trinity website: http://trinity.duke.edu/academic-requirements?p=graduation-with-distinction
