Summa Cum Laude

Published

Summa Cum Laude Latin Honors,

 if their overall GPA is 3.900 - 4.000 OR

 (their overall GPA is 3.700 - 4.000 and the GPA for their last 45 semester hours in

residence is 3.900 - 4.000)

If I have a 4.0 for all the BSN classes I have taken at UTA (and I have capstone left), which equal out to be 47 credits. Does that mean I graduate Summa Cum Laude? Or do they take into account my transcript from my other college for my BA and ADN?

Anyone know?

Thanks!

I believe they only count your GPA at UTA.

You must have received an A in research. I'm afraid it will destroy my 4.0, what is your secret? Haha.

Hello!

I did! That was a tough class because of the group assignments.. honestly, I spent way too much time on it.. I went through each group member's work each week to ensure they completed the assignment appropriately. There was a "group leader" each week, but I basically was the group leader every week lol. I was very overwhelmed... I hope they only include UTA credits. I asked my advisor a month ago, but he didn't answer my question, but sent me this link.

Call the registrars office- they are the determiners of such things.

My plan is to also take over and check everyone's work. Maintaining my GPA is very important to me. I am taking the class alone so that I will have the time to devote to the class.

They include UTA credits only. I know...that's what they used when I graduated from there.

They require 45 credits to graduate with latin honors.

They only included my UTA credits when I graduated summa cum laude. I know this because my pre-UTA GPA was filled with low due to not taking school seriously when I was young.
