Graduating with Honors

For graduation with honors, a student must have fulfilled the obligation of conducting himself or herself in a manner compatible with the University's function as a Catholic institution of higher education and must have obtained the following point indexes for all courses taken:

Summa Cum Laude - 3.85
Magna Cum Laude - 3.70
Cum Laude - 3.50

Students who transfer to St. John's University must complete at St. John's a minimum of one-half of the total number of credits required for their degree in order to be considered for honors at graduation. Grades of all courses taken by students, including internal and external transfer students, will be calculated in the index of honors at graduation. However, in no case shall the honor conferred be higher than that which would have been earned solely on the computation of the St. John's courses and grades.
