  • Recognition in the Commencement Program: Recognition in the Anderson graduation program is determined by the cumulative GPA from your most recently completed semester, and it requires the student to have completed 30 credits at UNM.
  • Honors on your diploma: Once all grades have posted, if your cumulative UNM GPA is within the above range and you have met the residency criteria, honors will be printed on your diploma.

Baccalaureate degree recipients who have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 and have earned between 30-59 hours in residence at UNM are awarded Anderson School of Management honors. This status is acknowledged in the Anderson Convocation program only. Students qualify for only one honors designation depending on total credit hours completed at UNM.
