The Dean's List.—A student who passes on not less than 15 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 15 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.
