Dean's List
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Dean's List is a category of students in a college or university who achieve high grades during their stay in an academic term or academic year. In secondary schools, or high schools, the term Consistent Honor List or Honor Roll is preferred, but Dean's List and Consistent Honor List mean exactly the same thing. It is most often found in North America, but some colleges in Europe use the term, at least at graduation. Its meaning varies from institution to institution, and other terms are sometimes used instead (e.g. Chancellor's Award).
In schools which start their grading system having 5.0 the lowest and 1.0 the highest, 2.0 is often the Dean's List cut-off point. In schools which start their grading system having 1.0 the lowest and 4.0 the highest, 3.0 is often the Dean's List cut-off point. At universities this requirement is usually higher; an A- average for the term is typical (3.50 or better on a 4.0 scale)[1][citation needed]. The required grade point average is often the same as the required average for Latin Honors.
Different from an academic scholarship, the Dean's List Award does not come with any financial aid.
