Students will be appointed to an official Dean's List at the end of a semester in which they have completed a minimum of 12 graded credits* and have earned a grade point average of 3.500 or better. Dean's List is not a graduation honor.
The Fall and Spring Dean’s List will be published approximately six weeks after grades are posted (second week of February for Fall; second week of July for Spring). Eligible students will be notified via their UMass email address, and a notation will be added to their transcript for the term in which they’ve earned Dean’s List Honors.
The Dean's List is final once it has been published. Any grade changes or resolution of incomplete grades after Dean's List Honors are awarded will not be retroactively considered for Dean’s List Honors.
*Please note: ‘graded credits’ are classes in which a letter-grade (A, A-, B+, etc.) has been given. Classes with a grade of ‘P’ (either due to a Mandatory Pass/Fail or Elective Pass/Fail grading basis) are not considered ‘graded credits’ and do not count towards Dean’s List Honors eligibility.
Questions about the Dean's List should be referred to the University Registrar's Office, 213 Whitmore Administration Building, (413) 545-0555.
