Graduation honors are awarded to students receiving their first baccalaureate degree, according to the scale shown in the table below.  Honors are awarded on the basis of all semesters completed, and the student's final transcript remains the official records of any honors granted.  However, in honoring a student at commencement, Boise State uses the student's GPA at the end of with spring or summer semester for the December ceremony and fall semester for the May ceremony.
