Honors and Honor Cords

Candidates must have completed at least 30 hours of graded work (grades in which grade points are awarded) at Washington State University in order to be considered for honors.   

Cumulative GPA of:

• 3.90 or higher = summa cum laude
  

• 3.70 – 3.89 = magna cum laude

• 3.50 – 3.69 = cum laude
  

The appropriate Latin phrase will be printed on the diploma and on the final transcript.

Computation of graduation honors will be done prior to the end of the final semester to allow for publication of the appropriate honors in advance of graduation. However, following the student’s final semester, the Registrar will re-compute the student’s GPA including the last semester’s work, and only this computation will determine official graduation honors.  

Please contact your advisor to find out where to pick up or purchase your honor cord.
