Honor cords and medallions
Honor cords and medallions are for undergraduate students only. Undergraduate students graduating with honors will receive, at no cost, honor medallions or cords. Summa Cum Laude (3.90 - 4.00) and Magna Cum Laude (3.75 - 3.89) graduates receive medallions and Cum Laude (3.50 - 3.74) graduates receive cords. Eligible students will receive an email a few weeks prior to commencement with options to pick up their cord or medallion. Cords and medallions can also be picked up at the registration table on the day of commencement.
For additional information regarding graduating with honors, please see the Graduating with Honors webpage. Please contact the Registrar's Office with questions regarding graduating with honors.
