Graduation with Honors
Candidates for the baccalaureate degree may be eligible for the awarding of Latin Honors at the time of graduation if they have fulfilled the following conditions:
- They must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.65 or higher in all coursework and in coursework completed at Cal State East Bay.
- They must have completed at least 40 semester-units of coursework in residence (as defined in the University Catalog) at Cal State East Bay.
summa cum laude (cumulative GPA, overall and at CSUEB, of 3.85-4.00) highest honor
magna cum laude (cumulative GPA, overall and at CSUEB, of 3.75-3.84) high honor
cum laude (cumulative GPA, overall and at CSUEB, of 3.65-3.74) honor
The GPA is officially calculated at the time the student has completed graduation requirements. The honors designation will be noted on the student’s diploma and official transcript. The conditions noted above apply equally to second-baccalaureate degree candidates.
Note: Post-baccalaureate and graduate students are not eligible for Latin Honors.
University Honors Program
The University Honors Program is different from “graduation with honors”. Graduation with honors is determined strictly on a GPA basis, and no additional coursework is required. The University Honors Program provides outstanding students the opportunity for academic challenge through the completion of specialized courses, seminars and projects under the direction of faculty mentors.
