Honors

Undergraduate graduation honors are calculated at the end of each term so that students graduating in any term may have their honors placed on their transcripts.

The GPA used to determine honors is based upon the student's entire academic career at Drexel University. Transfer students must have a minimum of 75 credits at Drexel University. GPA requirements for honors by categories are:

• Cum Laude 3.500-3.699
• Magna Cum Laude 3.700-3.899
• Summa Cum Laude 3.900-4.000

Students who meet requirements for institutional honors will have it notated on their diploma and academic record (transcript).
