*Grade Point Average - A 2.00 GPA (C
average) is required for graduation,
as well as passing the required
basic skills tests and the CUNY
Proficiency Exam (CPE).
A graduate
whose cumulative GPA is between 3.50
and 3.89 shall be graduated with
honors. The term with honors will
be inscribed on the students
diploma and noted on the
commencement program. A graduate
whose cumulative GPA is 3.90 or
better shall be graduated with high
honors. The term with high honors
will be inscribed on the students
diploma and noted on the
commencement program.
All students
must register for Intent to
Graduate in order to have their
records reviewed. This should be
done when they register for their
final 12-week session (SIMS Code
6999).
Students wishing to appeal
graduation requirements may submit a
written appeal to the Academic
Standing Committee. The decision of
the committee is final. Upon
graduation a students record is
frozen. No changes can be made to
the record.
Note: If the Registrars Office
determines that you have met the
requirements for graduation, you may
not continue taking courses at
LaGuardia unless you have filed a
second degree/credential or a
non-degree application.
