• Summa Cum Laude honors = cumulative GPA of 3.8 to 4.0
• Magna Cum Laude honors = cumulative GPA of 3.6 to 3.79
• Cum Laude honors = cumulative GPA of 3.4 to 3.59

Latin Honors for Commencement exercises are determined using the grades earned through the second to the last semester prior to graduation date. The transcript will include the Latin Honor calculated at the time of degree completion.
