<p>If you aren't in the honors program at your university, could you still graduate at the top of the class and receive honors such as summa cum laude. Because I know you can't be valedictorian at your high school when you take college prep classes..</p>
<p>I've never heard of that. You can't be valedictorian if you've taken college prep classes? what's the reasoning behind that?</p>
<p>good question. ill bump this up for ya</p>
<p>It really depends on the school...</p>
<p>
I think the OP means regular courses, i.e., not AP/honors courses that give a GPA boost.</p>

It's possible. Taking honors courses in college doesn't necessarily give you a GPA boost like in high school. If you do well in regular courses, you can still graduate with latin honors.</p>
<p>being in the honors program here has nothing to do with latin honors. we just will graduate with "honors" designated on our transcripts.
we do, however, need a certain gpa (3.5) to remain in honors, so you can imagine that if everyone has a minimum 3.5, some people are bound to have GPAs that give them latin honors.</p>
