The College provides the following recognitions for academic excellence:
1. Presidential Scholars - Your name will be placed on the Presidential Scholars’ list for any semester that your grade point average is 3.75 or higher. You must have completed at least nine (9) semester hours in the current semester (excluding developmental courses) and have earned a minimum of twenty (20) semester hours of credit at NOVA.
2. Dean's List - Your name will be placed on the Dean’s List for any semester that your grade point average is 3.50 or higher. You must have completed at least six (6) semester hours in the current semester (excluding developmental courses) with no grade lower than C.
At the end of every semester, academic excellence recognitions are listed below one week after the deadline for posting final grades. Those who qualified but whose grades were not posted by the college deadline will not be displayed on the online list.
The Deans and Presidents List will appear three times per year. Usually within in 10 days of final grade posting.
