Dean’s List of Students
Each semester Stanislaus State publishes a list of undergraduate honor students. To qualify for the list during the semester under consideration, a student must:
- Register for and earn a minimum of 12 units of credit of graded coursework at the University, and
- Achieve a 3.5 grade point average for all coursework attempted at the University that semester.
In addition to the Dean’s List of Students each semester, Stanislaus State also publishes a list of undergraduate students with honorable mention. To qualify for the list during the semester under consideration, a student must:
- Register for and earn a minimum of 8 to 11 units of graded coursework at the University, and
- Achieve a 3.5 grade point average for all coursework attempted at the University that semester.
Graduation Honors
Graduation honors are awarded to students earning baccalaureate degrees at commencement on the basis of both their overall and Stanislaus State grade point averages achieved in their undergraduate work. Projected or estimated grade averages for degree candidates are excluded from grade point average calculations. Honors designation for Spring and Summer candidates in the Commencement program is based on grades earned by the end of Winter Term. To receive an honor, both averages must meet the standards as follows:
- Cum Laude 3.40-3.59
- Magna Cum Laude 3.60-3.79
- Summa Cum Laude 3.80-4.00
These are minimum grade point average requirements. Calculations are not rounded upward to qualify a student. When there is a difference between the averages, the lower of the two will be used in determining the level of honors. (See Grading and Academic Standing section.)
