Graduation with Honors

Students whose cumulative quality point average indicates high scholastic attainment will be awarded the degree as follows:

  1. Summa Cum Laude - Quality Point Average 3.7 or higher.
  2. Magna Cum Laude - Quality Point Average between 3.50 and 3.69.
  3. Cum Laude - Quality Point Average between 3.30 and 3.49.

Students may graduate with honors only when they have completed at least 45 hours of graded work at Fredonia. Graded work includes all courses which carry quality points and excludes courses which are graded “satisfactory-unsatisfactory” or “pass-fail.”

Only those credits earned at Fredonia will be computed in the final average.
