GRADUATION WITH HONORS
The University of Georgia awards degrees with honors to candidates who meet specified standards of academic excellence. Graduating seniors are recommended for graduation with honors on the basis of their overall grade point average for all college-level work attempted. The overall GPA includes all work attempted at the University of Georgia as well as all college-level transfer work attempted prior to or subsequent to matriculation. Respective standards are as follows:
Honors Designation Required Overall GPA Tassel Color
Summa Cum Laude 3.9 - 4.0 Red, Silver and Black
Magna Cum Laude 3.75 - 3.89 Red and Silver
Cum Laude 3.60 - 3.74 Red and Black
First Honor Graduates
Each student completing a baccalaureate degree with an overall grade point average of 4.0 is designated a First Honor Graduate. The overall grade point average includes all work attempted at the University of Georgia as well as all college-level transfer work attempted prior to or subsequent to matriculation.
First Honors Candidates wear a fourragère (braided cord) on their left shoulder as part of their graduation academic regalia.
Honors Program Graduates
FACS students who participate in the UGA Honors Program may qualify to graduate with Honors, High Honors or Highest Honors. To graduate with Honors, a student must have a minimum 3.3 GPA in his or her Honors courses and a 3.4 cumulative GPA.
To earn High or Highest Honors students have taken at least nine Honors courses and completed capstone coursework, which can include directed research, a thesis, an internship or the completion of three graduate level courses. In addition to the capstone coursework, students who receive High Honors have maintained a 3.5 Honors GPA and a 3.7 cumulative GPA. For Highest Honors, students have maintained a 3.5 Honors GPA and an overall GPA of at least 3.9.
Please note: Because grades for the current semester are not available during the time that commencement programs are being produced and on the day of Commencement, honors designations (including First Honor Graduates) are based on the grade point average earned through the previous academic term. Final academic honor graduates for each semester are selected after grades have been submitted. Final, official honor designations are included on diplomas and transcripts.
Official GradImages photos will be available at www.gradimages.com at a later date. Photos taken by the college photographer will be posted at www.flickr.com/ugafacs and on the FACS Facebook page.
