After each semester exams, the Office of the Registrar will provide academic units with the names of students who have a GPA of 3.45 or better, in accordance with the criteria. The Deans will review the candidates’ academic records in detail and choose, at most, 10% of the total number of students enrolled in the College/Faculty. Academic units are expected to respond to the Registrar’s Office within one month, so that students’ transcripts can be updated. The transcript entry will indicate the name of the academic unit and the academic year for which the award is given. P R E S I D E N T ’ S H O N O U R R O L L / D E A N S ’ L I S T
