ratio up to that level. Deficiency points may be calculated by subtracting the

"B+," "B," "B-," "C+," "C,"
"C-," "D+," "D," "E," or

Rule 3335-9-33 | Standards for honors at graduation.
Effective:
October 16, 2023
(A) Degrees "cum laude,"
"magna cum laude," and "summa cum laude" may be granted for
exceptional achievement in the curriculum of each enrollment unit. The
designation "summa cum laude" may be granted only for those
students who have achieved at least a 3.90 cumulative point-hour ratio as of
the term penultimate to their graduation. The designation "magna cum
laude" may be granted only for those students who have achieved at least
a 3.70 cumulative point-hour ratio as of the term penultimate to their
graduation. The designation "cum laude" may be granted only for
those students who have achieved at least a 3.50 cumulative point-hour ratio as
of the term penultimate to their graduation. (1) Should a student not
meet the criteria noted in paragraph (A) of this rule as of the term
penultimate to their graduation, but meet the criteria based on their
cumulative GPA at the time of graduation, they will be considered as having met
the criteria to graduate with the appropriately revised
recognition. (2) Should a student meet
the criteria noted in paragraph (A) of this rule as of the term penultimate to
their graduation, but drop below the threshold with their final cumulative GPA,
they will not be considered to lose their Latin honors recognition for
graduation. (B) Eligibility for these honors shall be
based on a minimum of sixty credit hours of course enrollment at this
university. The marks for all coursework at this university considered toward
the degree will be included in calculating a student's eligibility for
such honors. Credits in courses graded "S/U," as well as credits
earned in repeatable coursework will be considered as counting toward the sixty
credit hours. Credits in courses graded "PA/NP," as well as credits
earned in coursework repeated in rule 3335-8-28 of the Administrative Code will
not be considered as counting toward the sixty credit hours. For a student who
has completed sixty credit hours subsequent to application of a fresh start, in
accordance with rule 3335-8-26.1 of the Administrative Code, only those marks
received for coursework subsequent to fresh start will be considered toward
calculating a student's eligibility for such honors. (C) Standards for graduation "with
research distinction in [special subject(s)]," "with honors research
distinction in [ ]," and "with honors in [ ]" shall be as
adopted by the council on academic affairs. Eligibility for these honors shall
be based on a minimum of sixty credit hours of course enrollment at this
university. The marks for all coursework at this university considered toward
the degree will be included in calculating a student's eligibility for
such honors. Credits in courses graded "S/U" and credits earned in
repeatable coursework will be considered as counting toward the sixty credit
hours. Credits in courses graded "PA/NP" and credits earned in
coursework repeated in rule 3335-8-28 of the Administrative Code will not be
considered as counting toward the sixty credit hours. (D) Beyond these minimal requirements the
enrollment units may establish additional stipulations for graduation "cum
laude," "magna cum laude," and "summa cum
laude."
