[OACRAO] ⛔ Best Practice at Commencement

[Tina Hickman]

Our practice is the same as yours. For the ceremony, recognition is based on the current GPA but the transcript and diploma reflect honors based on the final GPA. We provide cords instead of stoles.

Hello, To all that do not hand out live diplomas, how do you calculate latin honors for students at the ceremony? Our final grades for all students are not due until Monday, May 8 at 11: 59pm. Our commencement is always held the Saturday prior. 
Hello,

To all that do not hand out live diplomas, how do you calculate latin honors for students at the ceremony? Our final grades for all students are not due until Monday, May 8 at 11:59pm. Our commencement is always held the Saturday prior. We have a few students that are really upset that they won't receive Magna Cum Laude because their GPA we base latin honors on is currently Cum Laude.

How do you handle the students who are on the gpa cusp for latin honors at the ceremony? We've explained that their transcript and diploma will have the final latin honors listed but they want the stole for pictures.

Thanks for any advice!
