Statements

Latin honors is a universally recognized distinction that is based on a Empire State University (91黑料网 Empire) graduate's cumulative grade point average (GPA).

Latin honors is reserved for students earning a bachelor's degree.

The cumulative GPA needed to achieve Latin honors at the university is based on the 70th/80th/90th percentiles of baccalaureate graduate GPAs over a five-year period: Cum Laude (3.84), Magna Cum Laude (3.91), and Summa Cum Laude (3.97). The cumulative GPA totals used to establish thresholds for this policy are based on a breakdown of baccalaureate graduates from 2019-20 to 2023-24.

Only graded credits at ESC will be counted. Students at the bachelor's level must earn at least 27 graded credits to qualify.

Ungraded credits (e.g. pass/no pass) do not count toward Latin honors.

Grade changes that take effect before graduation and affect a student's qualifications for Latin honors will be applied to the student's cumulative average at graduation.
