            Cum Laude – 3.40 to 3.59 GPA

            Magna Cum Laude – 3.60 to 3.79 GPA

            Summa Cum Laude – 3.80+ GPA

Medal eligibility is based on two requirements:

2. Students must have complete at least 45 semester hours of work toward their degrees at Texas A&M University-Kingsville by the end of the semester prior to commencement. 

Please note the Provost Office determines medal eligibility and they authorize the granting of the medals. 

Also at the Academic Achievement Ceremony, the graduating Honors College students will be recognized, along with those Ph.D. and Master's candidates graduating with a 4.0 institutional GPA (based on the semester prior to commencement).
