University Honors
UAH Honor Cords, for those undergraduates who are eligible, have been purchased by the University and will be available at the Von Braun Center during the robing process. Graduation honors are not bestowed upon students receiving Masters or Doctoral degrees; therefore graduate degree recipients do not receive or wear honor cords.
Notice: Honors indicated in the program are based on grades for semesters completed prior to the last semester. Actual honors for all completed work will be subsequently calculated and will appear on the official transcript and diploma.
Undergraduates
Graduation with honors at the baccalaureate level requires a minimum of 60 semester hours at UAH. Honors will be determined by the grade-point average for the last 60 semester hours of coursework taken at UAH or the overall GPA for all coursework taken at UAH, whichever is higher. The academic terms containing the last 60 hours of coursework taken at UAH will be identified, and the GPA of all UAH courses taken during those terms to satisfy graduation requirements will be computed and the honors will be determined as follows:
If the GPA computed as above is 3.90 or above, the student graduates summa cum laude.
If the GPA computed as above is 3.70 or above (but below 3.90), the student graduates magna cum laude.
If the GPA computed as above is 3.40 or above (but below 3.70), the student graduates cum laude.
School of Graduate Studies
Graduate students should not wear honor cords. The hood adorned with the college colors represents their academic accomplishments recognized by the university.
