The Quarterly Dean's List includes the names of matriculated undergraduate students who are pursuing their first undergraduate degree and have attained a quarterly GPA of 3.50 in the final grades for at least 12 graded credits. Appropriate entries regarding inclusion on the Dean's List are made on the student's permanent academic record.
Dean's Letter
A student is notified of their quarterly Dean's List standing with a Dean's Letter. As of Spring quarter 2009, Dean's Letters are distributed electronically. Recipients receive notification and download instructions via e-mail sent to their UW-provided e-mail address. (To comply with FERPA regulations, Dean's Letter notifications are not sent to non-UW e-mail addresses.)
Students will receive an email with their Dean’s List Letter no earlier than one quarter after they’ve made the Dean’s List. Dean's Letters are only generated for students who meet the Dean's List criteria at that time. Dean's Letters are not issued or updated based on late changes to the academic record. Students will be sent, via email, a link to their online Dean's Letter which may be downloaded.
A student's Dean's List status is always current on the permanent academic record. The Quarterly Dean's List on the Student Guide is updated quarterly and lists those students included on the previous quarter's Dean's List.
Annual Dean's List
The Annual Dean's List award is recorded on the academic transcript of matriculated undergraduate students who are pursuing their first undergraduate degree and have achieved a quarterly GPA of 3.50 in 12 or more numerically graded credits each quarter for three quarters of the academic year (summer through spring).
