Honors


Honors for students who began the study of law before the fall of 2010 will be based upon the following:

The Summa Cum Laude designation will go to the top 5%; the Magna Cum Laude designation will go to the next 5%, and the balance of those students entitled to honors will receive the Cum Laude designation.  No student shall graduate Summa Cum Laude unless his/her cumulative grade point average is at least 3.5, and no student shall graduate Magna Cum Laude unless his/her cumulative grade point average is at least 3.25.

Cumulative grade point averages shall not be rounded up to qualify for honors under any of the foregoing formulas
