Overview<\/h3>\n

The College of Education offers three levels of honors upon award of the Bachelor\u2019s degree: Cum Laude (Honors), Magna Cum Laude (High Honors), and Summa Cum Laude (Highest Honors). Honors recognition is noted on the university transcript and printed on the diploma.<\/p>\n

Eligibility<\/h3>\n

The GPA used to determine honors includes only UF credits, earned after admission to the College, beginning the semester after accumulating 60 credits (junior status). Registration for one to three credits of Undergraduate Research is required in the final semester to be considered for magna cum laude or summa cum laude.<\/p>\n

How do I start<\/h3>\n

In the Fall term prior to your graduating semester, you should attend the High Honors Information Session (typically during the first few weeks of the term; available in-person and remotely for online students). There you will hear about how to get started and what is required for this honor. If you are unable to attend, please contact the College of Education Undergraduate Advising team at studenthelp@coe.ufl.edu<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n
