Dean's List
How does this work? (I'm in science) Is it based on your seasonal GPA or your CGPA?
Thanks!!

If your sessional GPA is over 9.5/12, you will be put on the Dean's Honours List.
If you graduate with a cGPA over 9.5/12 you will graduate with distinction.

So is the list updated every semester not every year, correct?

Yeah, the following year in January. For example, if you were on the list last year you will get the certificate this January. |

Actually they're a year behind...This year you'll be receiving one if you were on the list for 2007-2008. S:
Oddly enough, I haven't received one for 2007-2008 yet, but I have one for 2008-2009 (since I was graduating, they processed them ASAP).

Do they just send you a certificate, or do we have to go to a ceremony type thing to get it?

the Dean's list is for 30 credits per session right? Is it worth taking 6 courses next term so that one has a chance at being on the list? (First term kinda looks good but maybe it was because I only had 4 courses this term)
THANKS =)

Yeah, it would suck to not be able to get on Dean's list just because you didn't take 30 credits. Good luck. :]
