Graduation with Distinction

Students who complete their degree requirements in the range of cumulative grade point averages noted below will receive their diploma noting their distinguished achievement:

summa cum laude	3.900 – 4.000
magna cum laude	3.700 – 3.899
cum laude	3.500 – 3.699

Distinctions noted in the Commencement ceremony and program will be based on the previous semester’s grade point average. Diplomas are issued only once all grades have been received and degree requirements completed; therefore, formal distinction earned is based on the final cumulative grade point average.
