Students who have maintained the required academic standards may be recommended by the Honors and Awards Committee for graduation with honors.

1. In order to graduate with honors, students must not have grades below 3.0 in all academic subjects taken in and out the university.
2. They must have earned 75% of the total credits in the university.  Therefore, a student in a four-year course must have enrolled in the school at least since his/her sophomore year to comply with this requirement.  Students who took only the last two curriculum years in the school are not eligible for Latin Honors (Sarmiento, U; 2009).
3. Grades in National Service Training Program and INTRO subjects are not considered in the computation of the GPA but should all be PASSED.

Latin Honors

Cum Laude means “with distinction” and denotes a college student’s high scholastic achievement.  The honor is indicated on the student’s degree/diploma.  There are two other cum laude levels: magna cum laude or “with great distinction,” and summa cum laude or “with greatest distinction.”  Latin honors are based solely on scholastic performance and should properly apply to graduates who are conferred with a formal college or post graduate degrees (Sarmiento,U;2009).

The Grade Point Average (GPA) of graduating students refers to the cumulative GPA.  The following cumulative GPA requirements apply to students graduating with honors for degree courses:
 

For non-degree courses, graduating students who meet the requirements are given the following honors:

Grades in all subjects in the program enrolled in the university shall be considered in the computation of the GPA.  For transferee students, their grades in the previous school/s will also be included.
