  3. The grade point average is a measure of the student's overall academic performance and is used in the determination of academic standing, rank in class, eligibility for graduation, program eligibility and honors. To compute grade point averages, grade points are assigned to letter grades as follows: to the grade "A," 4 points; to "B," 3 points; to "C," 2 points; to "D," 1 point, and to "F," "I," "S," "U," "NG," "Q," "W," 0 pointshttp://catalog.lamar.edu/general-academic-policies-2011-2012.html

  4. Graduation Honors To be designated an honor graduate, a member of the graduating class must: 1) have completed at least 60 semester hours at Lamar University for a four-year degree or 30 semester hours for a two-year degree, and 2) have a grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.50 for all undergraduate course work attempted at Lamar University. Only course work attempted at Lamar University will be included in the grade point average calculation for honors. Transfer course work will not be included in the calculation of GPAs for honors. A GPA of 3.50 to 3.64 qualifies for cum laude (honors), 3.65 to 3.79 for magna cum laude (high honors), and 3.80 to 4.00 for summa cum laude (highest honors). Grades made the semester of graduation are included in the calculation of GPAs for honors. Honor graduates will be recognized during graduation ceremonies. pointshttp://catalog.lamar.edu/general-academic-policies-2011-2012.html
