Academic Honors

Dean's List

At the end of each Fall and Spring semester, the Office of Undergraduate Studies publishes a list of matriculated students who meet the qualifications for placement on the Dean's List.

Full-time students will be placed on the Dean's List each fall and spring semester in which they have earned twelve or more credits in residence at Lehman College with a GPA of 3.5 or above. Part-time students will be placed on the Dean's List on each occasion in which they have completed twelve or more new credits in residence at Lehman College in two consecutive semesters with a GPA of 3.5 or above. In either case, no WU or INC grades are allowed even if twelve credits are completed with a 3.5 GPA.
