Dean’s List

Dean’s List status is awarded to full-time undergraduate students whose semester GPA is 3.7 or higher. Dean's List designation is posted to a student's transcript at the end of each semester. Full-time enrollment in this case shall be a minimum of 12 credits in courses in which grades of A, B, C, D, or F can be given.

The bachelor’s degree may be conferred with honors, by vote of the Faculty Senate, in recognition of general high standing in scholarship. Three levels are distinguished and indicated by inscribing on the diploma the words “cum laude”, “magna cum laude”, or “summa cum laude”.

Among graduating students in each college/school, Latin Honors are awarded to the top 25% of the class as follows: students in the top 5% will receive summa cum laude; the following 10% will receive magna cum laude; the next 10% will receive cum laude.

Honors will be calculated on all grades received at UVM. To be considered, a student must have taken at least 60 credits at UVM in which a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F has been awarded.

Honors College students who complete all curricular requirements of the Patrick Leahy Honors College as well as an undergraduate degree in another college or school at UVM will graduate as Honors College Scholars.
