If a student has the necessary GPA at UMSt. Louis to qualify for Latin honors but has fewer than 60 graded hours at UMSt. Louis, all credit hours and the associated grades earned within the UMSystem will be included when the total credit hours earned in the UMSystem are at least  80 graded hours.

No Latin honor higher than that which is consistent with the UMSt. Louis grade point average will be awarded. All honors must be recommended by the student's major department. (Effective August 1990.)
