Turris Fidelis Award

The Turris Fidelis Key – awarded on the basis of outstanding service to the university, as well as superior scholastic achievement – may be awarded to no more than two graduating seniors at the fall and spring commencement ceremonies. The Turris Fidelis Key is the highest honor that can be conferred upon a graduating senior. A joint committee of faculty and students selects recipients. Summer graduates are considered candidates for the award during the subsequent fall commencement ceremony.

Keller Key

The Keller Key award was established as a memorial to the late President James Albert and Mrs. Mariglen Keller. A Keller Key is presented at each commencement to the honor undergraduate who, on the basis of having earned all credits for the bachelor’s degree at this university, has made the highest grade point average. The recipient of the Keller Key will be identified by the Registrar’s Office in accordance with established guidelines. For this purpose, all academic work ever attempted at UNA will be included in the calculation of the GPA. A student may receive the award only once even though more than one degree may be earned.

Distinguished Academic Achievement Award

The Distinguished Academic Achievement Award is presented to the UNA graduate with the highest grade point average who has completed at least 32 semester hours at UNA and is not eligible for the Keller Key Award. The grade point average is based on all work attempted. This award is presented annually at the Awards Gala
