* NOTE: 3.96 represents the cut-off point for those students who are eligible for summa cum laude, namely, those graduating with a cumulative average within the top 1% of the graduating class. However, the faculty is not obliged to award such an honor. Therefore, students may not represent that a GPA close to 3.96 is a GPA close to summa cum laude; rather, such students may only represent that their GPA is close to the top 1% of the class.
