Honors Tassels

Green and white tassels will distinguish honors graduates. Seniors eligible for honors will be noted on the official bookstore list and given a green and white tassel. Honors listed in the Commencement program and announced at the ceremony will be based on a student’s grade point average (GPA) at the end of Winterim 2010.

• Summa Cum Laude: GPA of 3.75–4.00
• Magna Cum Laude: GPA of 3.50–3.74
• Cum Laude: GPA of 3.25–3.49
