Graduating with Honors
Undergraduate Honors
Students are required to have an adjusted GPA of at least 3.5 and earn at least 30 semester credit hours in residence at KSU to graduate with honors.
- Summa Cum Laude (3.90 - 4.00)
- Magna Cum Laude (3.70 - 3.89)
- Cum Laude (3.50 - 3.69)
Graduates receiving honors for their undergraduate degrees are acknowledged at commencement, both by public announcement as they cross the stage, and the gold-colored honor tassels worn with the graduation mortarboards (caps).
Honor Society
Membership in an honor society is independent from KSU graduation honor policy. See the Nationally Recognized Organizations for your honor cords.
