Does National University (previously NCU) recognize honors distinctions?
Answer
Students who demonstrate exceptionally high academic progress in the undergraduate programs are eligible for graduation honors. Graduate degrees do not qualify for honors designation. Students must have earned at least 30 semester credits with letter grades (A through F) at NCU for honors to be determined. Academic honors are posted to the diploma and final transcript when the student’s degree is conferred.
Students completing an Undergraduate program may qualify for the following honors:
- Summa Cum Laude (with highest honors) GPA 3.85 +
- Magna Cum Laude (with high honors) GPA 3.75 - 3.849
- Cum Laude (with honors) GPA 3.50 - 3.749
