Honor Cords

For seniors who are graduating With Honor or With High Honor, the dean’s office of your college will contact you a few weeks prior to commencement to invite you to pick up a gold honor cord. With Honor and With High Honor receive the same cord.

To confirm grade point averages for the semester in which you graduate, and how graduation honors are calculated, please see the Office of the Registrar Graduation Honors page.
