GRADUATING WITH HONORS
Undergraduate candidates who complete all requirements for
graduation in accordance with the following stipulations earn the following
honors: (1) Those who maintain a general average within the range of 3.00 to
3.24 will receive CUM LAUDE, (2) those who maintain a general average within the
range from 3.25 to 3.49 will receive MAGNA CUM LAUDE, and (3) those who maintain
a general average within the range of 3.50 to 4.00 will receive SUMMA CUM
LAUDE.
All hours attempted are included in the grade point average
computation for honors. This means that when a course is repeated, both grades
are added in the computation. For a transfer student a minimum of 60 percent of
the credit hours required for a degree program must be earned at North
Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University to be considered for
honors. For example, if the program requires a total of 128 credit hours, 77 of
those hours must be earned at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University. Publication of honors and scholarships is made at
commencement.
