3340.1 General Information
Wright State University recognizes its high performing undergraduate students each semester, including summer. Eligible students will be awarded either Dean's List or President's List designation, based on semester Grade Point Average (GPA) and gradable hours earned. Undergraduate students who qualify for the President's List during a semester will not be awarded the Dean's List in the same semester. There is no Dean's List or President's List equivalent for graduate students.
Dean's List and President's List designation are indicated on both the official and unofficial academic transcript but do not show on a student's online grade report. WSU has designated both the Dean's List and President's List as Directory Information. As such, both lists will appear for one calendar year on the WSU website. Student's who have placed a FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) Directory Information Hold on their records will not be included in published lists nor included with any Public Records Requests.
Public Records Requests of Dean's List and President's List data can be directed to the Office of General Counsel (generalcounsel@wright.edu, 937-775-3540).
3340.2 Dean's List
To be eligible for the Dean's List, a student must be an undergraduate student who earns 12 or more gradable, undergraduate credit hours of WSU credit with a grade point average (GPA) for the semester of 3.50 to 3.99. Letter grades of CR, I, K, L, M, N, NU, P, U, W, and XU are not graded hours. Incomplete (I) and (M) grades must be resolved before Dean's List designation can be determined.
The Dean's list for the past three semesters can be found online on the WSU Dean's List website linked in the "Resources" section of this policy.
3340.3 President's List
To be eligible for the President's List, a student must be an undergraduate student who earns 12 or more gradable, undergraduate credit hours of WSU credit with a grade point average (GPA) of 4.00 for the semester. Letter grades of CR, I, K, L, M, N, NU, P, U, W, and XU are not graded hours. Incomplete (I) and (M) grades must be resolved before President's List designation can be determined.
