EducationA transcript must be submitted with your application if you are basing all or part of your qualifications on education.

Superior Academic Achievement (SAA) qualifications:S.A.A. is based on (1) class standing, (2) grade-point average, or (3) honor society membership.

Class standingApplicants must be in the upper third of the graduating class in the college, university, or major subdivision, such as the College of Liberal Arts or the School of Business Administration, based on completed courses.

Grade-point average (G.P.A.)

Applicants must have a grade-point average of:
Grade-point averages are to be rounded to one decimal place.

For example, 2.95 will round to 3.0 and 2.94 will round to 2.9.The G.P.A should be credited in a manner that is most beneficial to the applicant.

For example, applicants may list their G.P.A. as recorded on their final transcript, or they may choose to compute their G.P.A.

The specific provisions are detailed below:3.0 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B" or better) as recorded on their official transcript, or as computed based on 4 years of education, or as computed based on courses completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum; or3.5 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B+" or better) based on the average of the required courses completed in the major field or the required courses in the major field completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum.

G.P.A. as recorded on the final transcript.

The final transcript must cover the period being used to determine G.P.A., i.e., all 4 years or last 2 years.

G.P.A. including course work after bachelor's degree. Undergraduate course work obtained after an applicant has received a bachelor's degree can be credited in computing the G.P.A.

of applicants who need those courses to meet minimum qualification requirements, i.e., the courses are required by the standard or by the individual occupational requirement.

They are treated as described in the following example:

An applicant for a Biologist position has a bachelor's degree that included no biology course work, but has taken 24 semester hours in undergraduate biology courses after obtaining the bachelor's degree.

The grades earned in the biology courses should be included in the computation to determine this applicant's eligibility for GS-7 under the Superior Academic Achievement provision.

These courses should be counted in determining (1) the overall grade-point average, (2) the average obtained during the final 2 years of the undergraduate curriculum, and/or (3) the average in the major field of study.

For purposes of this example, biology would be considered the major field of study.
G.P.A. excluding pass/fail courses. Applicants usually cannot claim credit based on their overall G.P.A.

if more than 10 percent of their total credit was based on pass/fail or similar systems rather than on traditional grading systems.

However, if they can document that only their freshman-year courses (25 percent or less of their total credit) were credited on a pass/fail or similar system, they can use their overall G.P.A.

to claim Superior Academic Achievement.

If 10 percent or fewer credits or only freshman-year courses were based on pass/fail or similar systems, such credits can be ignored and the G.P.A.

computed on the graded courses.

Applicants can, however, still claim credit based on their last 2 years if 10 percent or fewer credits were based on pass/fail or similar systems.

Applicants who cannot claim credit under the G.P.A. requirements may claim credit for superior academic achievement only on the basis of class standing or honor society membership.

Election to membership in a national scholastic honor societyApplicants can be considered eligible based on membership in one of the national scholastic honor societies listed below.

These honor societies are listed by the Association of College Honor Societies (external link).

Agencies considering eligibility based on any society not included in the following list must ensure that the honor society meets the minimum requirements of the Association of College Honor Societies.

Membership in a freshman honor society cannot be used to meet the requirements of this provision.
