Beginning this year, Warwick students must now achieve a grade point average of 90 to 94.9 (Cum Laude), previously 85 to 89, for Honor Roll recognition, and a grade-point-average of 95+ (Magna Cum Laude), previously 90 to 95, to make High Honor Roll. Students who achieve a grade-point-average of 100+ will be recognized as Summa Cum Laude.
