Latin Honors are calculated based on a student’s CU Cumulative GPA. For the commencement ceremony, including honor cords and the program, final semester grades may not be included in this calculation. Latin Honor designations are recalculated once all grades are posted and will be displayed on official diplomas and transcripts.
The preceding list of candidates for degrees is not an official record that such candidates have been awarded such degrees or honors.
Diplomas will be mailed late February 2024 to your address of record.
