26. Dean’s Lists for Undergraduate Programs (Formerly Academic Regulation 30)

Saint Mary’s University recognizes students of high academic standing by placing them on the Dean’s List.  Students enrolled in Bachelor degree programs or the Diploma in Engineering are eligible for placement on the Dean’s List.  Evaluation for placement on the Dean’s List occurs at the end of the academic year (i.e., shortly after May 1st).  Placement on the Dean’s List is recorded on the student’s academic transcript.  Students may be placed on the Dean’s list up to 4 times.

a.  New students, will be automatically placed on the Dean’s List if they have completed at least 24 credit hours from May to April with a GPA of 3.7 out of 4.3 or above.

b.  Returning students will be automatically placed on the Dean’s List if they have completed at least 30 credit hours from May to April with a GPA of at least 3.7 out of 4.3.
