Graduation Honors

In recognition of distinguished academic achievement and high standards of academic integrity, the University of Pennsylvania awards Latin honors to undergraduate students based on the cumulative GPA on their transcripts at the time of graduation:

Summa Cum Laude 3.80 or higher;

Magna Cum Laude 3.60 or higher, but less than 3.80;

Cum Laude 3.40 or higher, but less than 3.60.

Students who are found by the Office of Student Conduct to have violated the Code of Academic Integrity of the University of Pennsylvania are not eligible for Latin honors.
