Graduation Honors

In order to qualify for graduation honors, (the only honors other than the University Leadership Award to be announced at commencement exercises), a student must have completed at East Stroudsburg University 60 credits in which the letter grades of A, A–, B+, B, B–, C+, C, C–, D or E are assigned. Students who have the appropriate grade point average at the time the honor’s designation is determined, and who will have met the 60-credit minimum once the final semester is completed, will be granted graduation honors as follows:

Summa Cum Laude Cumulative quality point average 3.8 or above
Magna Cum Laude Cumulative quality point average 3.6 to 3.799
Cum Laude Cumulative quality point average 3.4 to 3.599

Graduation honors are based on all work completed at East Stroudsburg University by March 15 of the academic year for May commencement, and by November 1 for December commencement. The official university transcript will carry the appropriate honors designation based on all work completed at the university.
