Dean's Lists

Undergraduate Honors and Awards Dean's List

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 Fall and Spring semesters. For students enrolled in programs that require full-time enrollment in the Summer term, they will be considered for the Dean's List at the end of the Summer term. Students will be informed of this achievement by email. Only undergraduate students are eligible for the Dean's List. 
  • 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. 
  • The Dean's List criteria will be evaluated during the last week of February for the Fall term (effective Fall 2021) and during the first week of July for the Spring term.
  • 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.

Due to the impact of COVID-19, Dean’s List honors will be excluded for Spring 2020 and will be awarded only for Fall 2019. Steinhardt will award Dean’s List honors to all students who were enrolled in the Fall 2019 term, attained a term GPA of 3.7, and met the revised requirements below.
