Latin honors at graduation
Latin honors designations are conferred at the baccalaureate level to students who have earned the requisite PSU GPA and who have earned a minimum of 72 credits from PSU, with at least 60 of those credits taken for differentiated grades (A-F). The GPA calculation is based on PSU credit and utilizes the current PSU repeat policy. The award levels are as follows:
summa cum laude—3.90-4.00
magna cum laude—3.80-3.89
cum laude—3.67-3.79
Latin honors are noted on academic transcripts, inscribed on diplomas, and honors candidates are identified in the commencement program.
