CSU Global Honors
Undergraduate students will be eligible for Latin honors designation on their transcripts and diploma if they complete their program with a cumulative GPA falling in the following ranges:
- Summa cum laude: 4.0
- Magna cum laude: 3.95-3.999
- Cum laude: 3.90-3.949
Graduate students will be eligible for Distinguished Scholar designation on their transcript and diploma if they complete their program with a cumulative GPA of 3.97 or higher.
At commencement, honors designations will be included in the program but will not be read as you walk across the stage. Honors are only listed in the program if a student’s degree is conferred a month prior to the ceremony.
For undergraduate and graduate students, the cumulative GPA applies to coursework completed at CSU Global Campus and does not include transfer work. Students who repeat courses for academic credit for D, F, and WA grades are ineligible for honors designation even if their ending GPA is within range. However if a student repeats a course for credit that had the grade of a W, they will be eligible.
Eligibility for honors designation will be determined at the time of degree conferral by the Office of the Registrar.
CSU Global has also partnered with a few other honors societies. If students are eligible for these honors societies, they will receive invitations directly from those organizations with instructions on how to become a member. Please click on the Related Articles below for more details.
