Academic Policy
Dean's List
The Division of Undergraduate Education, at the end of each fall and spring semester, publishes a list of undergraduate students who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance by placement on the campuswide Dean’s List.
To qualify for the Dean’s List, a student must meet the following criteria:
- be an undergraduate, degree-seeking student
- completed at least 12 credits during the fall or spring semester
- have earned a semester grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.50
- In the specific case of the final semester before a student graduates, naming to the Dean's List can be made for fewer than 12 completed credits.
The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) will notify the students of their placement on the Dean’s List for their school and will publish the list prior to the degree conferral deadline.
Individual units/schools may establish additional lists to acknowledge academic performance with lower or higher GPA standards as appropriate. Notification should be made soon after the DUE publishes the campus-wide list.
Additional Information
- Pass (P) and Satisfactory (S) grades, while not used in GPA calculation, are considered passing grades, and count toward the 12-credit minimum requirement.
- Incomplete (I) and Deferred (R) grades, while not used in the GPA calculation, are not considered passing grades, and are therefore not counted toward the 12-credit minimum requirement.
- Students who have chosen to restrict the release of public directory information will not be included on the published dean’s list.
