(1000-4999) with a 4.0 grade-point average* (no grade lower

HONOR GRADUATES
The ten percent of each graduating class representing the

at the commencement exercises. The honor graduates
are recognized in three groups: summa cum laude (top 2%),
magna cum laude (top 3% to 5%), and cum laude (top 6% to
10%). For consideration as an honor graduate, a student must
fulfill the following requirements:
• Must be completing the requirements for his/her first
bachelor’s degree.
• Must complete a minimum of 40 semester hours
in residence at Southeastern Oklahoma State
University exclusive of the final semester of enrollment.
• Must complete all courses required for the degree.
(A student with an incomplete grade (I) in any course
required for graduation will not be considered.)
In computing the grade-point average, all courses attempted,
including those from other institutions attended and
those forgiven by repeating, academic reprieve or academic
renewal, will be considered.
