ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Undergraduate students with outstanding academic records are named to the Dean's Honor List. In May of each year the Dean of each Faculty establishes an Honor List containing the names of all students registered in that Faculty whose average mark, for all courses completed in the previous 12 months, May 1 to April 30, is 80% or more with no failed courses. (For any course completed on a letter of permission in this period the mark must be "A".) Concurrent Degree Students who are registered in an approved program of full-time studies leading to two undergraduate degrees will be adjudicated for the Dean's Honor List of each Faculty provided that at least 3.5 courses of the year's work have been approved for credit towards the particular degree. The statement above applies to undergraduate students in the Faculties of Arts, Health Sciences, Information and Media Studies, Music, Science and Social Science, the School of Dentistry, and at Brescia, Huron and King's Colleges. For other undergraduate faculties and schools:
For the Richard Ivey School of Business, students in the Honors Business Administration Program must complete a full year's work, as defined by the program, attain grades in the top 10% of the class or have a special recommendation of the Dean.
For the Faculty of Education, graduating students in the BEd/DipEd Program must achieve an overall minimum weighted average of 85% in order to qualify for inclusion on the Dean's Honor List.
For the Faculty of Engineering Science students must complete a minimum of five courses and achieve an average of 80%.
For the Faculty of Law, students must complete a full year's work as defined by the program and be in the top 10% of the class to be named to the Dean's Honor List for the year.
Students in the combined LLB/MBA Program are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law during their first year of Law and for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School during their first year of MBA courses. In each of the third and fourth years of the program, students are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law on the basis of the courses taken at the Faculty of Law in each particular year. In the fourth year, students are also considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School on the basis of the Business courses taken during the last two years.
Only the grades earned in courses taken at the Faculty of Law in a particular year (provided those courses total at least 14 credit hours) are used to calculate a student's standing for an overall achievement award in that year. Students who attend the Faculty of Law on a letter of permission from another law school are not considered for the Dean's Honor List or an overall achievement award in that year.
For the Doctor of Medicine program, the honors grade adjusted by the course weight leads to a weighted honors score. A student who obtains a total weighted honors score in the top 10% of the class for all courses in each year of the MD program will be considered to have passed with Honors and shall be named to the Dean's Honor List.
