Cal State East Bay recognizes undergraduate students at graduation for consistently high scholarship through their entire academic careers, which includes coursework they may have transferred in from other institutions. Candidates may be eligible for the awarding of Latin Honors at the time of graduation if they have fulfilled the following conditions:
summa cum laude (cumulative GPA, overall and at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ, of 3.85-4.00) highest honor
magna cum laude (cumulative GPA, overall and at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ, of 3.75-3.84) high honor
cum laude (cumulative GPA, overall and at ÂÌñ»»ÆÞ, of 3.65-3.74) honor
The GPA is officially calculated at the time the student has completed graduation requirements. The honors designation will be noted on the student’s diploma and official transcript. The conditions noted above apply equally to second-baccalaureate degree candidates.
