Please note \u2013 this is a conditional designation provided by Enrollment Services based on cumulative GPAs at the end of your last completed semester for the purposes of cord distribution and printing the Commencement Program. Graduation honors noted in the Program are subject to change once final grades are recorded and a final honors GPA is calculated. Official honors status will be reflected on diplomas, which are mailed directly to graduates. <a href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/catalog\/#\/content\/65269fc6daaf7e001cdeda67?q=magna%20cum%20laude&amp;&amp;limit=20&amp;skip=0&amp;bc=true&amp;bcCurrent=Academic%20Policies&amp;bcItemType=institutional-information:~:text=Graduation%20Honors%20for%20Undergraduate%20Students\">More details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"fullwidth\"><strong>First-Generation College Student Cords<\/strong><br>Rhody F1rst invites all first-generation college students to celebrate this achievement with a graduation cord.
