Summa Cum Laude Cords
Graduation with honors is calculated automatically and granted to undergraduate students who achieve high grade point averages. Excellence is recognized at three levels: Summa cum laude (3.80-4.00), Magna cum laude (3.65-3.79), and Cum laude (3.50-3.64). Only summa cum laude students will be awarded an honors cord to be worn during the commencement ceremony. Eligibility is determined by calculating two GPAs, both of which must meet the minimum requirements for honors designation: GPA calculated on all units taken at this institution (a minimum of 24 graded units), and overall (cumulative) GPA (including both SDSU and transfer units).
