Graduation with Distinction
Undergraduate degree candidates are cited for graduation honors on their diploma and transcript. In addition, graduates in attendance today wear honor cords reflecting their academic distinction to date: cum laude (white), magna cum laude (blue), and summa cum laude (gold). Grades from the current semester are not included in the display of honors at today’s ceremony; final designation may, therefore, change.
