Academic Standing



Academic Honors

The Dean’s and President’s Lists are published to recognize full-time students who achieve true academic excellence in their college-level course work.

A student must carry a minimum of 12 credit hours of college-level course work to be considered for either academic honor. Courses below 100 level (i.e., DMA 010) are not considered part of the course load for selection for neither the Dean’s List nor President’s List.

The Dean’s List

A student must maintain at least a 3.50 grade point average for the semester and has no final grade lower than a “C” in any course taken for the semester. The Dean’s List is posted each semester on the College website and published in local newspapers.

The President’s List

A student must maintain at least a 3.80 grade point average for the semester and has no final grade lower than a “C” in any course taken for the semester. The President’s List is also posted each semester on the College website and published in local newspapers; however, to further document this accomplishment, each President’s List student receives a congratulatory letter from the college president.

Honors Graduates

Graduation honors are based on the student’s cumulative GPA. Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.50-3.79 will graduate with “Honors”; those students with a cumulative GPA of 3.80 or higher will graduate with “High Honors.” The academic honors achievement will be placed on the student’s credential.
