The GPA calculation is based on all 17³Ô¹ÏÍø¹ÙÍø credit, including 17³Ô¹ÏÍø¹ÙÍø study abroad, and utilizes the 17³Ô¹ÏÍø¹ÙÍø repeat policy. The award levels are as follows:

  • Summa cum laude: 3.9 – 4.0
  • Magna cum laude: 3.8 – 3.89
  • Cum laude: 3.65 – 3.79

Because Latin honors cannot be determined until final grades have been submitted, Latin honors will not be included in the Commencement brochures which need to go to print before finals are completed.

Traditionally, Latin honors are announced verbally at Commencement.
