To be eligible for the Dean's List, full time students must successfully complete a minimum of 12 credits (excluding credits taken in pass/fail courses and audited courses) during the eligible semester with a minimum semester grade point average of 3.50. Courses which the student elects to take on a pass/fail basis are also excluded from credit calculation. Students with grades of Incomplete (I), No Credit (NC), and/or Failure (F) are not eligible for the Dean's List.

Part-time students must accumulate a minimum of 15 credits (excluding credits taken in pass/fail courses and audited courses) during an academic year, beginning with the fall semester and ending with the summer sessions, and must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.50. Students with grades of Incomplete (I) and/or Failure (F) are not eligible for the Dean's List.

Transfer credits and/or College of Saint Elizabeth Intersession courses are excluded from the determination of eligibility for the Dean's List.
