DEAN’S AND PRESIDENT’S LISTS Once students successfully complete the satisfactory academic progress review, they are eligible for Dean’s and President’s list consideration. Students taking two or more graded courses through the Holt School who achieve a 3.50 – 3.74 average with no incomplete or reserved grades for any given semester will be placed on the Dean’s List if their cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. Students meeting the same criteria with a semester GPA of 3.75 or above will be placed on the President’s List. Dean’s and President’s List recognition is noted on the student’s transcript. Names of current Dean’s and President’s List students are prominently displayed in the Hamilton Holt School office.
