What Are the GPA Requirements to Make the Dean’s List?
According to Campus Explorer, most schools require a student to have a GPA of 3.5 or higher for the entire semester, academic year or both in order to be on the Dean’s List. More competitive schools have even stricter GPA requirements, such as the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school that requires a 3.7 GPA.
Some schools, like Cornell University, base the required GPA to be on the Dean’s List on the amount of credit hours a student has taken. Typically, the Dean’s List is only available to full-time students, though certain schools have a separate Dean’s List for part-time students. Full-time students are typically defined as students taking 12 credit hours or more.
