As each regular semester draws to a close, the University of Holy Cross takes a moment to celebrate and honor the academic achievements of its dedicated students. In a tradition that underscores excellence, the university proudly announces the names of those who have earned distinction on either the President’s List or the Dean’s List.

To be eligible for consideration, students must be enrolled on a full-time basis, reflecting the university's commitment to recognizing the efforts of those fully immersed in their academic pursuits.

The President's List and the Dean's List, announced at the end of each regular semester, are made up of full-time students whose semester GPA is at least 3.90 and 3.70, respectively, with no grade lower than a C. To be eligible for a semester honor, a student must complete a minimum of 12 semester hours. Students with an I grade are not considered for the President's or the Dean's List. Semester honors are not awarded during a semester in which a student is registered for a developmental studies course. Semester honors are noted on students' grade reports and transcripts.

In these moments of recognition, the University of Holy Cross not only celebrates individual achievements but also underscores its commitment to fostering a community of passionate learners and scholars. It is a reflection of the university's dedication to academic excellence and the pursuit of knowledge.
