dean's list

dean’s list dreaming

Hey Aska,

I finished my first year with a 3.53 GPA and I took 5 credits but the problem is I Credit/No Credited two 0.5 courses (Both were astronomy) so does that mean I don’t qualify for Dean’s List? Technically speaking I completed five credits but the 3.53 is not a culmination of the five credits it is really just a culmination of 4 credits.

Please let me know!

hey there,

well, putting aside the fact that we should all start focusing less on formal recognition of our achievements that just make us more submissive to the daily grind and try and find intrinsic motivators for success, i think you might just be in luck.

according to the calendar, “[t]his designation is given to degree students in the Faculty having a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.50 or higher, at the end of the Fall-winter or Summer Session in which the fifth, tenth, fifteenth and twentieth course taken for Faculty of Arts & Science degree credit, has been passed.” credit/no-credit courses count for degree credit, and they don’t specify that the CGPA has to be an average of every course you’ve taken, so i’m gonna say yes.

if the dean’s list comes around and you find you’re not on it and you think you should be, you can definitely contact your college registrar for further information, but i think you just might find yourself on that magical piece of paper very soon!

cheers chum,

aska
