Policy Statement
The Dean’s List is a unit-based student-centric recognition of excellent academic performance. Students must complete a minimum full-time program of 12 graded hours to qualify for the dean’s list. The credit/no credit option may not be used as part of the 12 graded hours. The permanent academic records for qualifying students are annotated to reflect this distinction. Official semester grades indicate students who are candidates for the Dean’s List.
Criteria for determining the GPA required for a student to be included on their unit Dean’s List will be determined by the unit Dean. The specific criteria will be published in the unit undergraduate catalog.
Dean’s List criteria will be reviewed annually by each academic unit (College/School) and changes in requirements will be submitted in writing to the Registrar by February 1 each year for inclusion in the next academic catalog.
