Honors achievements of graduating seniors are recognized by
Indiana State University at commencement and on diplomas and
transcripts. Honors are granted to baccalaureate candidates on
the following basis: Summa Cum Laude-a grade point average of
3.95 or higher; Magna Cum Laude-a grade point average of 3.80
through 3.94; Cum Laude-a grade point average of 3.60 through
3.79. Guidelines for graduating with honors are as follows:
1. Transfer students must complete 62 semester hours of
resident credit and have earned a 3.60 cumulative grade point
average at Indiana State University before honors consideration.
All academic courses (attempted) from all accredited
institutions are converted to ISU's grading scale and
incorporated in the honors grade point average when determining
honors.
2. In all considerations for honors, graduation deadlines are
to be observed. Once the commencement announcement has been
submitted for printing, there will be no additions made to
honors to be announced at commencement.
3. All grades which are on a point basis are used in final
honors designation. Grades such as "N," "IN," "WP," "DP," "S,"
and "U" are not included in honors GPA calculations. Honor
candidates who will participate in commencement exercises will
be determined by the honors cumulative indexes at the close of
the preceding semester or term. The honors cumulative index
includes all academic courses from all accredited institutions.
