Questions related to Honors

How do I know if I am graduating with Latin Honors?

To be eligible for Latin honors, a student must be enrolled in an undergraduate program and meet GPA standards as stated below, as well as complete a minimum of 56 traditionally-graded credits at Augsburg. Transfer students should be especially aware of this requirement. Course credits earned from a grade of Pass or Low Pass do not count towards the 56 traditionally-graded semester credits.

Latin Honors will be conferred upon completion of the bachelor’s degree and will be determined by the final cumulative GPA. Because the Latin Honors listed in the commencement bulletin are based on the current GPA rather than the final GPA, the conferred Latin Honors may differ from what was printed in the commencement bulletin.

  • Cum Laude: 3.600-3.799
