Scholastic Distinction
Graduation with Honors
Baccalaureate students graduate with scholastic distinction on the basis of overall grade point averages. The high overall grade point average includes all course work taken at all institutions of higher education. These averages and the citation they merit on the student's degree are as follows: 3.3, cum laude; 3.6, magna cum laude; 3.9, summa cum laude. Students must have 80 percent of their course work on the regular grading system minus any credits earned in courses where the student has no choice on receiving a P/NC grade to qualify for honors.
Students graduating from the Community and Technical College with an Associate's degree will receive a scholastic distinction of "High Scholarship" if their overall grade point average is a 3.3 or higher.

Note: The University of Toledo requires a minimum of 30 semester hours of standard letter graded courses from UT in order to qualify for graduation with honors.
