🏆 Dean’s List / Honors Standing Calculator
Not Sure If You Made the Dean’s List? Let’s Find Out (Fast).
Let’s be honest.
There’s nothing quite like opening your transcript and seeing those three magic words:
“Dean’s List Honors”
Whether you’re striving for recognition, bragging rights, or just that warm fuzzy validation that yes, the all-nighters were worth it—this tool is your go-to.
Introducing the Dean’s List / Honors Standing Calculator, your ultra-personal academic checkpoint to see if you made the list… or how close you really are.
🤔 Wait, What Is the Dean’s List Again?
Think of it like an academic VIP lounge.
Most colleges award Dean’s List status or Honors Standing if your GPA for the term or year surpasses a set threshold. Usually, it’s somewhere between:
✅ 3.5 to 4.0 GPA for undergrad
🧠 Might vary by college, department, or program
💡 Pro tip: Some schools even add tiers like “High Honors” or “President’s List” for top GPAs.

Your GPA for the semester or year

📊 It shows:

Whether you meet school-specific requirements
How close you are to hitting the next level (e.g. President’s List)
