Honors and Graduation Lists

Graduation List

Degrees with Distinction

Latin honors distinction for any (i.e., first or subsequent) undergraduate degree is based on the cumulative grade point average calculated solely from all credit hours attempted at East Carolina University. For students returning to ECU under the forgiveness policy, only hours included in the GPA following the application of forgiveness will be considered for a degree with distinction. Three levels of distinction are granted to graduating undergraduates as follows:

• Summa Cum Laude for a cumulative average of 3.90 and above
• Magna Cum Laude for a cumulative average of equal to or greater than 3.60 and less than 3.90
• Cum Laude for a cumulative average of equal to or greater than 3.50 and less than 3.60

Note: Degrees are conferred in the fall, spring, and second summer terms only.
