Honors at Graduation
Students who during their academic careers establish a grade point average of 3.50 are graduated cum laude; those who establish a grade point average of 3.75 are graduated magna cum laude; and those with a grade point average of 3.90 are graduated summa cum laude. The final grade point average is calculated to three decimal places and rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Application for Degree
The Application for Degree form should be filed with the Office of Academic Records before the beginning of the term in which the candidate expects to complete degree requirements. Failure to file such application may result in delay in the conferring of the degree.
Graduation Fee
A graduation fee of $120 is charged each applicant for any degree. This fee covers costs of the student's diploma and academic regalia and will be added to the bill for the last term of residence. All financial obligations to the College must be discharged prior to the conferring of any degree.
