<p>Thanks houshyyomama. The cutoff points for the academic year of 2009-2010 is posted online. Click the link that x8equalsDtilde posted, it is where I found the exact GPA cutoff points. There are several pages that list the regulations in regards to graduation distinctions, and one of them is the link that is posted above. The university should have the 2010-2011 cutoffs for the distinctions calculated sometime near the winter quarter of the upcoming academic year.</p>
<p>Houshyomama, your GPA is high enough to earn you the Cum Laude distinction. I do not believe you can achieve the Magna Cum Laude distinction based on your current GPA and the number of credits completed. Based on the data you have given us (the 3.605 GPA and 165 units), if you take 16 units each quarter and earn As in all your classes, you will only be able to achieve a GPA of 3.69, which falls short of Magna Cum Laude by quite a bit. Also, please keep in mind that there is a 205 unit limit that can be applied towards your degree. Therefore, you will only be able to complete another 40 units worth of units, and will not be able to take 16 units each quarter for three quarters because that will exceed the 205 unit cap. Financially speaking, it is unwise to take an extra two quarters worth of units that is not needed for graduation. Furthermore, if you do decide to try to raise your GPA by enrolling in two more quarters, make sure you do not take all non-challenging classes. For it may hurt your chances at getting into a good grad school, since colleges like to see well-rounded students who challenge themselves and not students who try to boost their GPAs through easy classes.</p>
