USF 2003-2004 Undergraduate Catalog - Page 44
The Provost's List is designed to recognize degree-seeking undergraduate students for high academic performance during the previous academic year.
To be eligible for the Provost's List, an undergraduate student must (1) have been enrolled during Fall, Spring, or Summer of the previous academic year; (2) have completed at least 24 USF graded (A-F) hours during that academic year; (3) have at least a 3.500 USF GPA for those minimum 24 hours; (4) have no incomplete (“I”) grades; and (5) be in the top 10% of the qualified students for the college in which the students are enrolled at the end of Summer Term.
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 3.50 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 3.50 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.
Candidates with a USF GPA of 3.50 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.50 but below 3.70 shall receive a diploma designation of cum laude (with honor).
Candidates with a USF GPA of 3.50 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.70 but below 3.90 shall receive a diploma designation of magna cum laude (with high honor).
Candidates with a USF GPA of 3.50 or higher and an overall GPA of 3.90 or above shall receive a diploma designation of summa cum laude (with highest honor).
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., 3.69 is not the same as 3.70).
