A gold cord worn around the neck of the gown signifies baccalaureate graduation with academic honors. Those receiving master's degrees are not eligible for honors. Honors are applicable for students who graduate with an overall grade point average of at least 3.50. Spring Quarter candidates must have had a minimum overall grade point average of 3.50 based on Winter Quarter grades. Honor cords, which are available for no additional fee, may be obtained at the Registrar's Office beginning May 30.
Photo identification is required to obtain the cord.
