Criteria used for compiling Dean's Lists:
- Twelve or more calculable credits taken in the semester. (Courses taken on pass/fail or S/U graded courses are not calculable credit courses).
- Rank in upper 25th percentile in School or College and a minimum semester Grade Point Average of 3.000
- No grade below a C, including the actual letter grade awarded in any pass/fail course taken, in the semester
*Top Quartile figures do not include those students who met the above criteria but who had Incompletes, Absence Marks, Late Grades, or "No Show" at the time of final grade processing. These students are also not listed on the Dean's List or issued a Dean's List Letter.
Reasons why names may not be found on published Dean's Lists:
- Fewer than twelve calculable semester credits
- Grade changes or late grades submitted
- Change of major - check listings under previous major
- Privacy request filed by student prohibiting publication of information
Questions regarding Dean's List can be answered by the staff of the Office of the Registrar at: 486-3331.
New Effective for Spring 2009 Part-time Dean's List:
Annually, at the conclusion of the Spring semester, the deans of the various schools and colleges shall issue a list of those degree-seeking students who did not attain full-time status at any time during the previous 12 months, but who, during this 12 month period (including summer and intersession sessions)
- were registered for a total of at least twelve calculable credits,
- received no mark below C nor received a U in any course,
- earned at least a 3.0 grade point average, and
- were in the upper quartile of their respective school or college based on the Spring data.
[note: These students will receive the distinction: “Dean’s List (Part-time)”.]
