Honors Criteria

Due to the implementation of weighted grades, are using the Cum Laude Honors System.

1. A student taking the minimum requirement of qualifying courses and earns the same letter grades as in the old criteria… all that has been changed is to alter the numerical GPA to match the new system, which incorporates weighted grades.
2. With weighted grades more students will have the opportunity to qualify for Cum Laude recognition.
3. The bar for recognition has not been raised, but merely relabeled to reflect weighted grades. The number of B’s a student is allowed in order to meet the Cum Laude Honor System requirements did not change.
