Graduation With Honors
Graduation with distinction (sometimes referred to as Latin Honors) depends upon the achievement of exceptionally high scholastic averages and completion of all requirements. This distinction is reflected by the awarding of degrees cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude. All grade point averages are computed on work completed at Rider University only.
