Students who graduate with honors will be recognized at graduation. The Registrar will not release this information. The appropriate designation will appear on the student's diploma and permanent academic record. Only the student's cumulative residency grade point average will be considered for graduation honors as follows:

• Summa Cum Laude: 3.90
• Magna Cum Laude: 3.70
• Cum Laude: 3.50

The Academic Catalogue under which a student graduates determines residency and other criteria for honors.
