Unless otherwise specified below, designation as an honors graduate requires that the degree candidate have completed at least 60 credit hours at Texas A&M University, and that they have at least a 3.50 GPA. The specific honors levels are as follows:

Stoles for honor graduates will be distributed at the graduation venue before the ceremony begins. The graduate may keep these stoles after the ceremony.

These honors designations do not require participation in any honors courses. Students who have taken honors courses may also qualify for university-level designations. Students may contact LAUNCH at (979) 845-1957 or by email to honors@tamu.edu for details about these additional designations. |
Grade point averages used to determine Latin honors designations are calculated during the final degree audit the day before the ceremonies and include hours and final grades in courses taken during the student’s graduating semester. Latin honors designations will not be changed after the final graduation clearance deadline. |
TAMU Student Rules specify certain credits that are excluded from the calculation. Additional information can be found on the Office of the Registrar's website. |
