Academic Honors Policy

• Summa Cum Laude — graduation with highest honors requiring a cumulative grade point average of 3.90 or higher.
• Magna Cum Laude — graduation with high honors requiring a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 - 3.89.
• Cum Laude — graduation with honors requiring a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 - 3.74.
• With Distinction — associate degree honors requiring a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher.

The number of grade points earned in a course is computed by multiplying the number of credit hours by the quality points assigned to the grade earned. The cumulative grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of credit hours attempted.
