Latin Graduation Honors

For full information on Undergraduate Latin Honors, please refer to the Undergraduate Course Catalog, under "Academic Regulations". The information offered below is a brief overview.

There are three requirements that must be satisfied for Latin Honors:

  1. GPA of 3.4 or above (see table below)
  2. Minimum of sixty (60) Utica College credit hours completed in residence (Any courses that a student has opted to take in a pass/fail mode (instead of the standard letter grade) will not count toward the sixty credits)
  3. Minimum of thirty (30) credits at the 300- or 400-level

Second degree candidates are eligible provided they have carried sixty hours of additional Utica College credit in their second degree program.

The Latin Honors are as follows:

Cum Laude3.4-3.59
Magna Cum Laude3.6-3.79
Summa Cum Laude3.8-4.0

Students earning Latin Honors will be given a gold-colored tassel at the Commencement ceremony and their transcript and diploma will have the honor printed on it.
