Dartmouth honors are awarded as follows: summa cum laude - top 5%, magna cum laude - top 15%, cum laude - top 35%. In the past several years, that has required GPAs of approximately 3.9, 3.8 and 3.6, respectively.
It depends on the specific college or university. However, many institutions start a cum laude honor at a 3.45. Once again, there is no standard and can only be understood by inquiring about the policies particular to the school.

Well, you would graduate with honors. Typically, a GPA of 3.5 would be either cum laude or magna cum laude depending on the specific school and its requirements.
The highest level of honors is Summa Cum Laude, then comes Magna Cum Laude, and then Cum Laude. Thus, a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0 is Summa Cum Laude. Acutally, Summa Cum Laude starts at a 3.85 GPA. Still, different institutions have different requirements.
You should check with the Office of the Registrar at your school. Inquire about the exact GPA requirements for honors. I have seen some schools that have a cutoff as high as 3.85 GPA for Magna Cum Laude. Each school may have different GPA cutoffs. I am assuming they did give you at least Cum Laude.
