Who is eligible for honors and how are they calculated?
Honors apply only to undergraduates who have completed at least 60 semester hours in residence at Georgia Tech. In order to receive degree honors, graduates must have the following GPA: 3.15 for HONOR 3.35 for HIGH HONOR 3.55 for HIGHEST HONOR Grades earned for the graduating term will affect honors. GPA’s are not rounded up (Example: A GPA of 3.149 is not rounded to 3.15). The first notice of possible honors will appear approximately one week after “Drop Day” of your graduating term. Honors will be recalculated following the processing of final grades. This recalculation will take into consideration any grade changes submitted to the Registrar’s Office during your graduating term. Your correct honors will be noted on your diploma and on your transcript. Honors announced at the commencement ceremony will be your possible honors. Your final honors will be determined after final grades are audited.
A degree with honors will be granted to a student who maintains a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or more. A degree with highest honors will be granted to a student who maintains a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or more. Graduation with Latin designations will be granted to students who complete the requirements for Senior Honors in the Honors College or via Outside Honors (see the Undergraduate Bulletin for specific requirements). Graduation cum laude will be granted to students with an overall GPA of 3.25 to 3.49; magna cum laude will be granted to students with an overall GPA of 3.50 to 3.79; and summa cum laude will be granted to students with an overall GPA of 3.80 or more.
