Honors at Graduation (Latin Honors)
Honors at Graduation is calculated on the basis of your entire academic record. To qualify, you must meet ALL three of the following criteria assessed at the end of the Winter term:
- Completed at least 60 graded units (A-D) at Cal State East Bay AND
- Minimum Cal State East Bay grade point average of 3.60 (check with your academic advisor if you are unaware of this GPA, as it does not appear on your transcript) AND
- Higher Education (Cumulative) GPA as follows (as listed on your transcript):
- 3.90-4.00 summa cum laude (highest honors)
- 3.80-3.89 magna cum laude (high honors)
- 3.60-3.79 cum laude (honors)
These standards were adopted to ensure that the top 1% of those graduating in the years this catalog is in effect receive summa cum laude designations, the top 3% receive at least magna cum laude designations, and the top 8% receive at least cum laude designations. Graduation with Honors is governed by the catalog in effect at the time of the student's graduation. For more information refer to the University Catalog.
