Graduation Honors
In order to qualify for graduation honors, (the only honors other than the University Leadership Award to be announced at commencement exercises), a student must have completed at East Stroudsburg University 60 credits in which the letter grades of A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D or E are assigned. Students who have the appropriate grade point average at the time the honor’s designation is determined, and who will have met the 60-credit minimum once the final semester is completed, will be granted graduation honors as follows:
Summa Cum Laude |
Cumulative quality point average 3.8 or above |
Magna Cum Laude |
Cumulative quality point average 3.6 to 3.799 |
Cum Laude |
Cumulative quality point average 3.4 to 3.599 |
Graduation honors are based on all work completed at East Stroudsburg University by March 15 of the academic year for May commencement, and by November 1 for December commencement. The official university transcript will carry the appropriate honors designation based on all work completed at the university.
