The Dean’s List is a unit-based student-centric recognition of excellent academic performance. Students must complete a minimum full-time program of 12 graded hours to qualify for the dean’s list. The credit/no credit option may not be used as part of the 12 graded hours. The permanent academic records for qualifying students are annotated to reflect this distinction. Official grade reports indicate students who are candidates for the Dean’s List.
Criteria for determining the GPA required for a student to be included on their unit Dean’s List will be determined by the unit Dean. The specific criteria will be published in the unit undergraduate catalog.
Dean’s List criteria will be reviewed annually by each academic unit (college/school) and changes in requirements will be submitted in writing to Registration and Records by February 1 each year for inclusion in the next academic catalog.
UMKC awards Latin honors (Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude and Cum Laude) to the top undergraduate and first professional students in each graduating class.
Undergraduate students are eligible to be awarded their degrees with Latin Honors as determined by each of the academic units using fixed overall GPA requirements. The fixed GPA requirements will be reviewed annually by each academic unit and changes in requirements will be submitted in writing to Registration and Records by February 1 each year for inclusion in the next academic catalog.
The calculation for Latin Honors will be made using the GPA of the last 60 hours earned at UMKC, including all credits earned in the semester when the student reaches or exceeds 60 hours.
Because Latin Honors is calculated by GPA and there is only one GPA, there will only be one Latin Honors awarded regardless of the number of degrees the student earns.
Latin Honors may be published for commencement but will be provisional until the degree is conferred.
Graduates in first professional degree programs (law, medicine, dentistry and pharmacy.) may be awarded degrees with Latin honors as determined by policies established by the academic unit responsible for the degree.
Latin honors will not be awarded to students in graduate (masters and doctorate level) degree programs. Students whose degrees were awarded prior to June 1, 2004, may not have Latin honors conferred retroactively to their degree.
