To be eligible for graduation honors, students must have completed at least fifty (50) graded semester-hours at Saint Xavier University and earned a cumulative grade-point average of:
3.50 for Cum Laude
3.70 for Magna Cum Laude
3.90 for Summa Cum Laude
The cumulative GPA is based exclusively on credits earned at Saint Xavier and is the higher of (a) the GPA for all credits earned at Saint Xavier, or (b) the last 50 hours earned prior to graduation. If the student reaches and exceeds 50 hours in a term, then all courses earned that term are counted in the GPA for the "last 50 hours." The student is not allowed to pick the courses to equal exactly 50 hours. Graduation honors are recognized for undergraduate degrees only.
