How are honors (Latin honors) determined?
Latin honors are awarded on the basis of all academic work taken at Samford University. Students who earn at least 90 credits at Samford and a grade point average (calculated on all work done at Samford University) of 3.500 through 3.749 are graduated cum laude; of 3.750 through 3.899 are graduated magna cum laude; and of 3.900 through 4.000 are graduated summa cum laude. Please note, however, that Latin Honors cannot be calculated in time for the actual ceremony since grades are not due until the week following commencement. If Latin Honors are called out for you at the ceremony, they will be an estimate of your final GPA.
