Honors at Graduation

Honors at graduation are determined one semester prior to graduation by computing the GPA in all courses applicable toward graduation. Transfer students who have not completed 30 semester hours in residence by one semester prior to graduation will be evaluated at the conclusion of all work. Summer semester graduates' honors are determined according to the criteria used with the previous spring semester graduates. Honors are based on the following formula: within a given college or school,

  • summa cum laude will be awarded to all students receiving a 4.00 GPA;
  • maxima cum laude to the next 3%;
  • magna cum laude to the next 7%;
  • cum laude to the next 10%.

* Institutional honors are only awarded for students receiving undergraduate degrees.
