Summa Cum Laude

Achievement of a cumulative grade point average of 3.90 or above and 3.90 or above on Fort Hays State University coursework. Each student graduating with academic honors must have attended the university for one of the last two years, and at least 60 hours must be earned in an institution offering regular upper-division credit.

While honors will be listed in the commencement program for those who may reasonably anticipate them, the listing on the program is not a guarantee of receiving honors. The listing and reading of honors for spring degree candidates are based on the grade indexes achieved at the beginning of the student’s final semester. The official honor awarded based on final grade indexes will be noted on the student’s diploma and transcript.
