A minimum of 45 UT Dallas graded credit hours is required. Each Latin Honors level requires a minimum grade point average (GPA) to be attained over all course work taken at the University of Texas at Dallas (excluding graduate level coursework that is excluded from the undergraduate career). In the case of a student with a double major who wishes to graduate with honors, a single honors designation will be awarded based on the primary major. Students graduating with double degrees who wish to receive honors for both degrees must complete separate honors requirements for each degree.
The grade point requirement for Latin Honors is issued by UT Dallas in the summer of each academic year and apply to graduates in the following academic year. The thresholds for each level of Latin Honors are determined by a rolling average of the grades of all graduates for the previous six long semesters. Averages are computed separately for each school within UT Dallas. The GPA that represents the top five percent of all graduates in a particular school will be considered the threshold for awarding Summa Cum Laude honors. The GPA that represents the next 10 percent in each school will be the lower limit for Magna Cum Laude. The GPA that represents the next 15 percent in each school will be considered the benchmark for awarding Cum Laude honors. A minimum GPA of 3.40 is required for any Latin Honors.
A student with less than 45 UT Dallas graded credit hours in the semester prior to graduation may receive their medallion prior to commencement if and only if they meet the following conditions:
If you would like to have your honors regalia before commencement, you may pick up your medallion a the UT Dallas Campus Bookstore beginning at the dates below. Please make sure to bring a photo ID with you.
