Honor Societies, Military Recognition and Latin Honors
To ensure that you are recognized for your achievements, staff works with Honors Society advisors and staff from The Bob Parsons Veterans Center to ensure that we have the correct information for the program.
Honor Societies
The names of students in Honor Societies are given from the Honor Society advisors. For more information about graduation cords and stoles please visit the Graduation Regalia page.
Below is a list of currently known Honor Societies at The University of Baltimore. Each society handles cords, stoles, and commencement recognition differently. Some purchase items for their members; others submit requests for items on their members' behalf, while others require members to obtain these items on their own.
Please contact your organization's President or Advisor with any questions about obtaining cords, stoles, or other items.

Military Recognition
UBalt takes great pride in recognizing graduating students who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. Students will be recognized in the commencement program with a star next to their name to signify their success and honor their courage and service.
Latin Honors
Since final grades will not yet be submitted, current coursework cannot be considered when making the honors determination for the ceremony. Therefore, Latin honors are assigned using the student’s record from the previous semester. The final designation earned will be awarded based on the student’s entire record and will appear on the official transcript and diploma.
No additional stoles or cords are presented to students graduating with Latin Honors. Students awarded honors must have the appropriate GPA and at least 48 credits earned at The University of Baltimore. For more information about honors, contact the Office of Records and Registration at 410.837.4825.
Latin Honors Designations:
- Cum Laude: Cumulative UBalt GPA of 3.50-3.74
- Magna Cum Laude: Cumulative UBalt GPA of 3.75-3.89
- Summa Cum Laude: Cumulative UBalt GPA of 3.90-4.00
Please note: Honors designations are not used for graduate students.
