PROPOSAL TO THE ACADEMIC SENATE

TITLE: Dean’s List Policy

SUBMITTED BY: Student Academic Policies Committee

DATE: October 31, 2003

ACTION IS: Legislative

REFERENCE IS: The University of Dayton Bulletin, August 2003

Rationale

The current policy regarding the Dean’s List (p. 69, 2002-2003 Bulletin) is in need of clarification in the specific areas of more closely defining the term “full-time student” and re-examining the policy in relationship to part-time students.

Recommendations

The following revision of the policy is proposed:

Dean’s List

At the conclusion of the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms, in both the college and the professional schools, any currently registered, degree-seeking undergraduate student completing a minimum of twelve semester hours with a grade point average of 3.50 or above is named to the Dean’s List. For purposes of this list, the total hours completed during the multiple Summer sessions are treated as being a single term.

Dean’s Recognition List

At the conclusion of the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms, in both the college and the professional schools, any currently registered, degree-seeking undergraduate student completing no less than six semester hours and not more than eleven and one-half semester hours with a grade point average of 3.50 or above is named to the Dean’s Recognition List. For purposes of this list, the total hours completed during the multiple Summer sessions are treated as being a single term.
