Recognition at Graduation:
The faculty of each college of the university shall recognize the top students receiving a bachelor’s degree from their college, based upon the following requirements:
- At least ninety (90) semester credits are earned or in progress in courses graded “A” through “F.”
- At least sixty (60) semester credits are earned or in progress in residence at the university in courses graded “A” through “F.”
- Students with transfer credit must satisfy the GPA requirement at this university and in the combined, transfer-university GPA.
Those students in the top 1% of their college’s graduates receive the title of Summa Cum Laude, the top 5%-1.01% receive the title of Magna Cum Laude, and the top 10%-5.01% receive the title of Cum Laude. Ranking is based on University of Nevada, Reno and cumulative grade point averages. Academic recognition at commencement ceremonies is based upon the total semester credits earned and the GPA requirements fulfilled from the start of the student’s academic career to the end of the previously completed semester.
