Dean's List
At the end of each fall and spring semester, John Jay College issues a list of full-time matriculated undergraduate students who have achieved distinguished semester records. The list will be generated by one month after the last day of finals by the Office of the Registrar. The dean's list recognizes students who have completed the following requirements at the time the list is computed for the semester the dean's list is to be awarded:
- Enrolled as a matriculated student in a baccalaureate degree -granting program
- Passed or been exempted from all three assessment exams (reading, writing and mathematics)
- Completed a full-time program of at least 12 credits, in addition to any courses taken as P/F, which must be successfully completed (P).
- Earned a semester GPA of 3.5 or better
- All grades are C (2.0) or better (grades of C- or below will disqualify the student)
- No marks of Incomplete (INC), NGR, PEN, R, W, WA, WN, or WU
Once the dean's list is published, it is final. Students who later attain a qualifying average through a grade change or removal of an Incomplete will not be included on the dean's list for that semester.
At the end of each spring semester, John Jay College issues a list of part-time matriculated undergraduate students who have achieved distinguished academic records. The dean’s list for part-time students recognizes students who have completed the following requirements at the time the list is computed for the semester the dean’s list is to be awarded:
- The dean’s list for part-time students is calculated once a year at the end of each spring semester.
- The calculations are based on fall term, winter session, and spring term in the same academic year.
- The student must be a matriculated student in a baccalaureate degree–granting program for all terms and sessions in which he or she has enrolled in that academic year.
- Over the span of the academic year, the student must have completed at least 12 credits, in addition to any courses taken as P/F, which must be successfully completed (P).
- The student must have earned a GPA of 3.5 or better for the academic year.
- The student must earn grades of C (2.0) or better in all courses taken (grades of C- or below will disqualify the student).
- Any marks of Incomplete, NGR, PEN, R, W, WA, WN, or WU , if any are present when the dean’s list is run for the academic year, will disqualify the student.
No student is eligible for both full- and part-time dean’s lists. Any student enrolling in 12 or more graded credits (not counting pass/fail courses) in any single term during the academic year will be ineligible for part-time dean’s list in that year. Instead, such students will be considered for full-time dean’s list in the term(s) where they have full-time enrollment.
Once the dean’s list is published, it is final. Students who later attain a qualifying average through a grade change or removal of an Incomplete will not be included on the dean’s list for that semester.
Note that students who have requested “Restricted Release of Directory Information” (a FERPA block) will not appear on the Dean’s List (although a notation is reflected on the transcripts of all students who achieve the honor).
