Graduation Honors

The Chancellor's Award is conferred at commencement on behalf of the faculty and Chancellor to the baccalaureate student who has the highest cumulative grade point average. The recipient is recognized by the faculty and the graduating class and is awarded a remembrance. All previous coursework, including transfer grades, are calculated to determine this honor.

Students with a grade point average of 3.5-3.69 graduate cum laude; those with 3.7-3.89, magna cum laude; and those with 3.9-4.0, summa cum laude. This is noted on the student’s official transcript and announced at graduation.
