Honor Cords
Academic honor cords for cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude will be distributed during the commencement ceremony. April 2024 graduates will receive a letter from Academic Affairs regarding their honors while students who have completed the degree requirements should have already received their final transcript with honors listed.
Please be sure to contact Academic Affairs if you have any questions or if the honors are not what you expected; otherwise, your honors may not be listed correctly in the program or announced at the ceremony. Honor cords will be awarded to recipients during the ceremony.
*Nursing students who participate in graduation activities at the Oakland campus will receive honor cords prior to the Pitt Greensburg ceremony; they should wear the cords to the Commencement ceremony on April 27th.
Honor Society Members, Student Athletes, and Student Organization Members
If you are a member of an academic honor society or official student organization, please contact the faculty or staff advisor of your group for information regarding honor medallions, society cords, or pins. Student Athletes who meet official requirements will have the opportunity to wear stoles to recognize their participation in campus athletic teams.
