Degrees With Honors

Students receiving Baccalaureate and Doctor of Pharmacy degrees will be awarded Latin honors in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • Cum Laude – awarded to students whose cumulative grade point average is within the range of 3.500 through 3.749
  • Magna Cum Laude - awarded to students whose cumulative grade point average is within the range of 3.750 through 3.899
  • Summa Cum Laude – awarded to students whose cumulative grade point average is within the range of 3.900 through 4.000

The distinctive Top Graduate status at graduation is bestowed upon the Baccalaureate and/or Doctor of Pharmacy degree graduate(s) with the highest cumulative grade point average. Students receiving their first associate degree from ULM will be awarded University honors in accordance with the following guidelines:

  • Honors - awarded to students whose cumulative grade point average is within the range of 3.500 through 3.799
  • High Honors – awarded to students whose cumulative grade point average is within the range of 3.800 through 4.000

The cumulative average is the uncorrected average figured on all courses attempted, which includes ULM, transfer, and repeated courses. A letter grade equivalent must be determined for credit (CR) grades awarded to a student for international transfer coursework in order for the student to receive honors at graduation. A student who has declared Academic Renewal is not eligible for honors recognition at graduation.
