Due to building capacity per the fire code, every guest entering the arena must present a guest ticket. This includes babies and small children, even if they will sit on adult laps.

What are degree honors and am I eligible?
Degree honors eligibility is calculated using both resident GPA and transfer GPA. A student must earn the minimum GPA at each of the levels of distinction: degree, major, second major or minor.
Commencement honor cords will be given to students who participate in the Commencement Ceremony based on the student’s cumulative GPA (including transfer GPA plus UW-Superior GPA) based on the prior semester’s cumulative GPA.
Honors posted on official transcripts will be based on the student’s final cumulative GPA (including transfer GPA plus UW-Superior GPA) after all grades have been posted.
Honors cord categories are as follows:
– Summa Cum Laude 3.85 to 4.00 GPA (black, yellow, and white cords)
– Magna Cum Laude 3.60 to 3.849 GPA (yellow cords)
– Cum Laude 3.40 to 3.599 GPA (silver cords)
