Introduction

The Dean's List recognizes students enrolled in associate, bachelor’s, or master’s degree programs for outstanding academic achievement during a given quarter. To qualify, students must meet specific academic performance standards, maintain good academic standing, and complete a minimum number of credit hours. Eligibility is determined following the close of each quarter.

The criteria for inclusion on the Dean’s List are established by the University and are reviewed periodically to ensure continued academic rigor.

The Dean’s List is published on the following dates:

  • First Quarter (Sept. 1 - Feb. 28 courses): April 1
  • Second Quarter (Dec. 1 - May 31 courses): July 1
  • Third Quarter (March 1 - Aug. 31 courses): October 1
  • Fourth Quarter (June 1 – Nov. 30 courses): January 1
