To be eligible for graduation with honors...
a student seeking
a bachelor's degree must have completed at least 54 semester credit hours
preceding graduation at Texas State. Calculation of the GPA to determine honors
status is based on all Texas State work applied to the first bachelor's degree,
including work completed in the final semester. Undergraduate students
earning a Texas State GPA of:
3.40-3.59 will graduate Cum Laude;
3.60-3.79 will
graduate Magna Cum Laude;
and 3.80-4.00 will graduate Summa Cum Laude.
Hours earned through Texas State correspondence courses and extension courses are counted in the
hours required to be eligible for honors and in the GPA. Courses receiving a
grade of “CR” do not count in the GPA calculation.
The full policy can
be found on page 36-37 of the 2014-2016 Undergraduate Catalog.
