Based on a 4.0 GPA scale, the distinc­tion of summa cum laude is awarded to undergraduate students with an aver­age of at least 3.8; magna cum laude is awarded to undergraduate students with an average of at least 3.65; and cum laude is awarded to undergradu­ate students with an average of at least 3.5. Notation of cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude on transcripts and diplomas is based on achievement when all courses for grad­uation are completed.

Graduating “with honors” is the sign of a student who has made the most of their time at SDSU, enjoying transfor­mational experiences and preparing them for a successful future, whether they are joining the workforce or ex­ploring an advanced degree.
