Latin Honors are granted to graduating seniors who have completed at least 60 undergraduate credits at UB, of which at least 54 credit hours are graded, and have earned grade point averages

• Cum Laude - at least 3.20, but less than 3.50
• Magna Cum Laude - at least 3.50, but less than 3.75
• Summa Cum Laude - 3.75 or more

Graduating seniors who have achieved an average of at least 3.5 in all designated courses are eligible for School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Distinction. All students who attain this level through their final semester will be so recognized on their transcripts. This list is based on courses taken through the Fall 2008 semester.
