Latin honors at Case Western Reserve University

Case Western Reserve University awards Latin honors by class rank rather than a fixed GPA. Top 35% of the graduating class by overall GPA; the university sets specific cum laude/magna/summa GPA cutoffs within that band each year.

This is the important structural difference from a fixed-cutoff school: there is no GPA you can target with certainty. The bar is set by where your cohort lands, so a 3.85 might earn honors one year and miss the following year. Plan for the percentile, not the number.

Standing, honors lists, and retakes

Good academic standing at Case Western Reserve University requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0. Falling below it typically triggers academic warning, then probation, with dismissal only after sustained shortfall — the escalation gives time to recover.

The Dean's List threshold is a 3.50 term GPA. Because it resets every term, it is the one recognition that is always reachable next semester no matter what your transcript looks like today.

One detail specific to this school

Dean's List has two named tiers: Dean's High Honors List (3.750+) and Dean's Honors List (3.500-3.749), both requiring 12+ credit hours and no F or NP grades that term.
