Full-time undergraduate students who demonstrate superior academic achievement during one semester will be honored on a “Dean’s List.” To be eligible for the Dean’s List, a student must be in a “pool” (defined hereafter) and must complete 12 hours of graded (A-F) USF courses with no incomplete grades during the semester. The “pool” consists of all students who have registered for at least 12 hours of USF courses in a given semester. The Dean’s List shall consist of the fewer of: 1) the upper 10% of the enrollment of the college or 2) students in the college with a USF 3.5 GPA or above (ties at the 90th percentile will be included in the honors group).
The dean of the college in which the student is majoring or the Dean of Undergraduate Studies for undeclared students will recognize this academic honor. Students who are eligible should contact their College Advising Office for information.

To be considered for honors at graduation, a baccalaureate candidate must have completed at least 40 credits of graded coursework at USF and have earned a grade point average of 3.500 or higher for all graded coursework attempted at USF. In addition, to be eligible for honors, transfer students and USF students who have postsecondary work elsewhere must have an overall GPA of 3.500 or higher counting all USF courses as well as all transferable work attempted at other institutions. The forgiveness policy at USF or other institutions and plus/minus grades awarded at other institutions will not be applicable in computing the GPA for honors.
In addition, each dean has the option to select on the basis of exceptional achievement 1% of the college’s graduates or 1 student per semester for graduating with distinction.
NOTE: The GPA is not rounded up when determining honors at graduation (e.g., 3.699 is not the same as 3.700).
