The Dean's List is an academic honor awarded to undergraduate students achieving high scholarship each academic year.
Effective beginning in the academic year 2013-2014
- The Dean’s List will be compiled at the end of each academic year (not individual terms), and students will be informed of this achievement by email.
- The Dean's List excludes courses taken in January term and Summer term.
- Students whose degrees will be conferred in January will be eligible for the Dean’s List at the end of the Fall term.
- All other students must meet the requirements below in both the Fall and Spring term to be eligible for the Dean’s List.
Requirements
- Students must be matriculated undergraduates
- Must achieve a GPA of 3.7 or higher in each term (GPA will not be averaged for the year)
- Completed at least 12 graded units in each term
- No missing or N grades at the time the term criteria is evaluated
- No grades of IP, IF or I grades at the time the term criteria is evaluated.

- Students who elect to take a course Pass/Fail in either Fall or Spring term are ineligible for the Dean's List.
Note: The GPA is calculated to two decimal places but is not rounded up.
