The Dean's List.—A student who passes on not less than fifteen session-hours
during a session with an average of at least 85 per cent., and with no session
grade less than 75 per cent., will be placed on the Dean's List, and will remain on
the List as long as he receives an average of at least 85 per cent., on at least fifteen
session-hours per term and receives no term grade less than 75 per cent. in any
course. Any student on the Dean's List failing to maintain this standard of excellence
will be automatically dropped from the List. A student once dropped from
the List can again make the Dean's List by meeting the above standard for entire
session. A student on the Dean's List is not subject to the regulations limiting the
issuance of leaves of absence from the University, nor does absence from any class
entail on such student any penalty, affecting class standing, imposed for absence
alone.
