Graduation Honors
The University of Nebraska at Kearney confers graduation honors on undergraduate students who meet the following qualifications:
| Scholastic Averages | Honors |
|---|---|
| 3.90-4.00 | Summa Cum Laude |
| 3.80-3.89 | Magna Cum Laude |
| 3.70-3.79 | Cum Laude |
| 3.50-3.69 | Honorable Mention |
The above grade averages are computed on the basis of a minimum of 60 semester hours' credit earned and completed in residence at UNK. Courses taken during the semester in which the student plans to graduate are not used in determining honors for commencement. When final grades for the semester are received, the students' final honors standing will be calculated and recorded on the permanent record. Grades and credit hours earned at colleges or universities other than the University of Nebraska are not applicable in determining graduation honors.
