Honors are based on the prior-term cumulative grade point average. Honors are not calculated for graduate students.
Students graduating with honors will be noted in the commencement program and will be given academic cords to wear with their cap and gown. The cord will be distributed with the cap and gown. There is no additional charge for the academic cord and there is no additional paperwork required for the student. The cords will be ordered automatically for students based on honors status information provided by the Office of the Registrar.
Note: Actual degree honors will be calculated following final term grades. The notation of honors recorded on your diploma and transcript will reflect final honors calculation rather than commencement honors.
If you have questions about your honors status, please contact the Registrar’s office at (618) 650‑3370.
