As passed by the Academic Senate, the Honors categories are based on the Spring graduating class: the highest 2% receive Highest Honors, the next 4% receive High Honors, and the next 10% receive Honors. Only those students who have passed 60 or more UC units with letter grades will be considered for Honors.

For students who have identified the SPP as their primary college, official Latin Honors designation for students who graduated Spring 2023, Summer 2023, Fall 2023, and Winter 2024, are based on the overall degree grade point average (GPA) cutoffs listed below.

These cutoffs will also be used as the unofficial cutoffs for the Spring 2024 and Summer 2024 graduates. The official determination of Latin Honors (for transcript and diploma purposes) will be based upon the calculated grade point averages of the actual Spring 2024 graduates and the new official GPA cutoffs will be posted at the end of Summer 2024.

Degree conferral is finalized about 6-8 weeks after final grades are officially released.
