Honors Guidelines


Are you expecting to graduate with high or highest honors?

An honors application is no longer required. Instead, the final honors designation (cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude) is based on your upper division and major GPAs, and your honor code record, at the time of graduation. Refer to the “Criteria for Graduation with Honors” section of your degree audit for the minimum GPA requirements and list of courses factoring into each GPA.

Please note:

  • The asterisks in the printed and digital UF commencement program may not reflect the level of honors a student receives when the degree is certified and awarded. The final honors level is determined AFTER grades post and GPAs are calculated.
  • Any student with a current or previous honor code violation may not be eligible to receive the high or highest honors designation.
