Latin Honors at Graduation

Latin Honors for official transcripts, diplomas, and reader cards at the May Commencement Ceremony are based off of the final semester cumulative G.P.A. standings.  However, the Commencement Programs are printed before May degree candidate’s final semester grades have been received from the faculty. Therefore the Latin Honor status for the Commencement Program is determined based on 45 residency credits for CLAS students and 60 credits for LA+D students and the cumulative grade point average at the end of the last Fall or penultimate semester. Dual degree students who will receive their diploma with their master’s degree will receive Latin Honors at that time.

CLAS: To graduate with honors a student must have met the residency requirement outlined above and must have achieved the following*:

LA+D: To graduate with honors a student must have met the residency requirement outlined and must have achieved the following minimum cumulative grade point average:

Only undergraduate students receiving degrees will be recognized for Latin Honors. All degree requirements must be fulfilled to be recognized for Latin Honors.

*This policy will go into effect starting with the graduating class of May 2018
