Dean’s List

Dean’s list status is awarded to full-time undergraduate students whose semester GPA is 3.7 or higher. The 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 twelve 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 grades 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 five percent will receive summa cum laude; the following ten percent will receive magna cum laude; the next ten percent will receive cum laude.

Honors will be calculated on all grades received at UVM. To be considered, a student must have taken at least sixty 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 a degree in one of the seven undergraduate colleges and schools at UVM will graduate as Honors College Scholars.
