Frequently Asked Question
How do I know if I qualify for honors?
Answer
In order to qualify for degree honors, students must have earned 60 or more credits at Salem State and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.300 or better. Students who have been readmitted under the Fresh Start policy do not qualify for honors unless they earn 60 or more credits at Salem State after they are readmitted.
