The highest honors given to a graduate is “summa cum laude” which means “with highest praise”. The main requirement to qualify for this honor is to achieve an average of 3.9 out of the possible 4.0 grade point. Another academic achievement is the “magna cum laude” which means “with high praise”. The grade point requirement for this excellence award is 3.75 to 3.89. The “cum laude” honor is achieved by students with a 3.5 to 3.74 grade point average. It is important to verify colors with your school or university as they may not all follow the standard set by The Association of College Honor Societies.
