COMMENCEMENT INFORMATION

Honors

HONORS
Honors are based upon coursework taken over the duration of a student’s entire
undergraduate academic career at UMBC. To be eligible for Honors, students must
have earned at least 60 graded credits at UMBC (excluding Pass/Fail and Audit grades)
with a GPA requirement as follows:

Summa cum laude Magna cum laude Cum laude
With highest honor With high honor With honor

3.95 – 4.0 GPA 3.75 – 3.9499 GPA 3.5 – 3.7499

While students may be provisionally recognized with Honors at the time of
the Commencement ceremony and in the Commencement program, official
determination of Honors occurs after the Commencement ceremony, once final
semester grades have been submitted and calculated. The diploma of the University
and an official final transcript are the only documents that officially award Honors at
the time the degree is conferred by the University.

for graduation by the Graduate School will receive their graduate diploma in the mail.
Students can expect to receive their diploma at the mailing address given on their
supplemental application for graduation. The conferral date for graduate diplomas will
be May 20, 2021. Diplomas will be mailed to graduates in early summer 2021.

verify/update their address. For questions, undergraduates should contact the
Registrar’s Office at [email protected].

Names in Program

and have met all eligibility requirements. A degree candidate who did not submit
their application for graduation prior to the posted deadline may not be listed in this
program. The University reserves the right to add or withdraw names from this program
prior to printing. The list of degree candidates appearing in this program does not
signify that a degree has been, or will be, conferred. Official graduation determination
generally occurs once final semester grades have been submitted and calculated. The
diploma of the University and an official transcript are the only documents providing
authentic testimony to the conferring of a degree.

Hail alma mater! OUR UMBC,

Boldly bearing your colors, the whole world to see,
Striving together in true unity,
