The Dean's List.—A student who passes on not less than fifteen session-hours
during a session with an average of at least eighty-five per cent.,
and with no session grade less than seventy-five 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 eighty-five per cent., on at least fifteen session-hours
per term and receives no term grade less than seventy-five 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.
