<p>I am a senior at CC and was wondering if anyone knew the cutoffs for latin honors. Are they generally 3.90+ summa cum laude, 3.80 magna, and 3.7? Does anyone know when we are notified of them? Thanks!</p>
<p>I remember that they were listed in the graduation program. Does that mean your final semester doesn't count (I don't recall all my grades being posted at graduation, and they have to print out the stuff)? As far as cutoffs, I have no clue but I bet summa and magna are much higher in CC given all the A+'s.</p>
<p>I imagine there are fewer A+s given out in CC than in SEAS. No liberal-arts teacher with subjective grading will give out A+'s, almost on principle. The only places you can really "earn" them are math-science type classes.</p>
<p>My year, for SEAS, I think the cutoffs for cum laude, magna, summa were about 3.65, 3.8, 3.95. or thereabouts. they weren't listed in my program, that's interpreted from various people i knew.</p>

<p>Not in core classes or the more intro humanities classes. But smaller upper-division seminars and paper classes are how several people I know racked up the A+'s. Also, they aren't subjective, but languages are a good way to get some A+'s.</p>
<p>last year in SEAS the cutoff for cum laude was definitely over 3.7 if not close to 3.8</p>
<p>they don't list GPAs in the graduation program only names so theres no way of actually knowing the cutoff....and i think the last semester counts...that's y seniors' grades are due very quickly and i'm sure its not hard to print stuff out very quickly...in that case you wouldnt find out until you checked in for graduation or something</p>
<p>the cutoff for CC is probably higher than SEAS and around a 3.8....its determined by top x% of the class so i think what would pull it up in CC is a clustering at the top...doesn't really matter how many people get A+s</p>
<p>also it'd be safe to assume that the cutoff for summa would be 4.0+</p>
<p>and a little depressing tidbit ....the valedictorian and salutatorian for SEAS last yr both had 4.2+ gpas...the latter was in my major (even more depressing)</p>
<p>Well, i know for a fact that honors are given for grades only through december of senior year, because it states them on the site (though they can be revoked if your grades are not up to par)</p>
<p>i have just above a 3.9 and was hoping summa, but looks like thats not happening; oh well, maybe grad school =)</p>
<p>summa cutoff last year was def below 4.0 for seas last year. although I wouldn't know how much since he summa I know is a 3.9+
magna I'd agree is 3.8</p>
