To be eligible for graduation with Latin Honors, an undergraduate student must complete, in residence at App State, a minimum of 30 semester hours:

• Minimum grade-point average of 3.45 is required for graduating cum laude;
• Minimum grade-point average of 3.65 is required for graduating magna cum laude;
• Minimum grade-point average of 3.85 is required for graduating summa cum laude.

The GPA used to recognize candidates for Latin honors (during the ceremony) is the cumulative GPA earned through the immediately preceding (not the current) semester. Diploma and transcripts will indicate Latin honors earned after a student’s final GPA is determined.

Bachelor's candidates who have earned Latin, university, college or departmental honors will be recognized during the ceremony.

Note: Transfer credit hours for which a grade is not awarded at App State will not be used in the determination of GPA or honors.

Note: Students that have been granted academic renewal or forgiveness from probationary periods are not eligible to graduate with Latin honors.
