Completion of the Honors Core Curriculum will be indicated on your official transcript. If you receive a degree from Southwest Virginia Community College and have completed the Honors College Program, your transcript will carry a seal bearing the indication, HONORS. In addition, students who complete the honors program will receive a medal at the Spring Award’s Day Celebration and an honors graduation cord after their capstone presentation.
