UW Regulation 2-107 (July 12, 2018)

Designations of Academic Distinction will be added to baccalaureate academic transcripts and diplomas of graduating students earning at least 48 UW credit hours (of which 45 hours must be graded on an A-F grading scale) based on the following percentages:

Top 1% summa cum laude
Next 4% magna cum laude
Next 5% cum laude

Each spring semester, Academic Distinction graduates will be identified by comparison of their GPA to a 5-year rolling grade point distribution by each college.

The degree of Juris Doctor is awarded with honors if the student achieves a grade point average of 3.400 or better on on all resident credit in the College of Law.

A Doctor of Pharmacy is awarded with honors by the University of Wyoming to a student who graduates with scholarship in pharmacy of unusual excellence as defined by the School of Pharmacy.
