Graduation Honors
Baccalaureate Honors
The University will confer baccalaureate honors recognition on those students who have earned:
- At least 25% of total degree hours of graded work at UWF (e.g. 30 hours for a 120 hour degree plan).
- At least a 3.5 institutional (UWF) GPA.
- At least a 3.5 overall (transfer and UWF) GPA.
- Baccalaureate Honors will be based on the lower of the two GPAs; either the cumulative institutional or overall cumulative GPA. The GPA calculation can be found on the unofficial transcript.
Second-degree candidates are eligible for baccalaureate honors recognition with the same requirements as first degree candidates.
The following minimum GPAs are required for graduation honors:
| Degree | GPA |
|---|---|
| Cum Laude | 3.50 |
| Magna Cum Laude | 3.70 |
| Summa Cum Laude | 3.90 |
Previous recognition on the President’s or Dean’s Honor Rolls does not ensure baccalaureate honors at graduation.
