Latin Honors at Graduation

Latin Honors for official transcripts, diplomas, and reader cards at the May Commencement Ceremony are based on the final semester cumulative G.P.A. standings. However, the Commencement Programs are printed before May degree candidates’ final semester grades have been received from the faculty. Therefore, the Latin Honor status for the Commencement Program is determined based on the graduation residency requirement (i.e., 30 credits for CLAS students and 57 credits for LA+D students) and the cumulative grade point average at the end of the last Fall or penultimate semester.

To graduate with Latin honors a student must have met the graduation residency requirement outlined above 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 with Latin Honors.

*This policy will go into effect with the 2020-2021 Academic Year, starting with the September 15, 2020 Conferral.
