Academic Honors for Undergraduates

Academic Honors for Undergraduates

Undergraduate students who have earned an Honors designation will be notified at the end of each term. Cumulative GPAs are calculated during the 10th week of the term (using official grades submitted to the Registrar’s Office) to determine Honors designations for the commencement rosters and programs. Cumulative GPAs are calculated again once all grades have been received to determine Honors designations for diplomas and transcripts. Latin Honor designations are:

Summa Cum Laude 3.90 - 4.00
Magna Cum Laude 3.75 - 3.89
Cum Laude 3.60 - 3.74

Please Note: A grade point average may increase or decrease between the 11th week calculation and the final calculation performed once all grades have been received. The final grade point average and honors designations between the 10th week calculation and the final calculation will not be retroactively reflected in the Commencement rosters and programs.  If students do not have any official grades submitted at the 10th week, then the GPA from the previous term is used to calculate honors.
