Honors

To be considered for honors at graduation, a baccalaureate candidate must have completed at least 40 credits of graded upper level work at 国产短视频and have earned a grade point average (GPA) of 3.50 or higher for all graded coursework attempted at USF. For those students in programs requiring multiple clinical experiences (such as Nursing and Education), a baccalaureate candidate must have completed at least 30 hours of graded upper level coursework and have earned a GPA of 3.50 or higher for all graded coursework attempted at USF. In addition, to be eligible for honors, transfer students and USF students who have postsecondary work elsewhere must have an overall GPA of 3.50 or higher counting all 国产短视频courses, as well as, all transferable work attempted at other institutions. The forgiveness policy at 国产短视频or other institutions and plus/minus grades awarded at other institutions are not applicable in computing the GPA for honors. In addition, students with a record of academic dishonesty appearing on any transcripts may graduate from a degree program after meeting all degree requirements, but will not be eligible for honors at graduation, including the honor of graduating from the Honors College or a departmental honors program.

• Candidates with a 国产短视频GPA of 3.50 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.50 but below 3.70 shall receive a diploma designation of cum laude (with honor).
• Candidates with a 国产短视频GPA of 3.50 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.70 but below 3.90 shall receive a diploma designation of magna cum laude (with high honor).
• Candidates with a 国产短视频GPA of 3.50 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.90 or above shall receive a diploma designation of summa cum laude (with highest honor).

The GPA is not rounded up when determining honors at graduation (e.g., 3.69 is not the same as 3.70). 

Undergraduate candidates with an overall GPA of 4.00 are recognized at the commencement ceremony as King O鈥橬eal Scholars. They will be recognized during the ceremony and presented with a certificate and medallion from the 国产短视频 Association.

For purposes of honors recognition at the Commencement ceremony, students must have a 3.50 GPA before the term in which they plan to graduate to have honors recognized publicly at the Commencement ceremony.

Undergraduate students may purchase an honors medallion (Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, or Cum Laude) if their name is on the official graduating with honors list from the Registrar鈥檚 Office. Medallions are available at all three campus bookstores two weeks prior to Commencement. Only undergraduate students wear honors medallions; master鈥檚 candidates do not qualify for honors and may not wear items earned as an undergraduate student.
