Academic Honors for Undergraduates

Academic Honors for Undergraduates

Undergraduate students who have earned an Honors designation will be notified and invited to attend Honors Convocation at the end of each term. This ceremony is separate from, and usually occurs before, Commencement. Cumulative GPAs are calculated during the 11^th week of the term to determine Honors designations for the Honors Convocation and 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 11^th week calculation and the final calculation performed once all grades have been received. The final grade point average and honors designations between the 11^th week calculation and the final calculation will not be retroactively reflected in the Honors Convocation or Commencement rosters and programs.
