Semester honors: At the end of each fall and spring semester, all students who have registered in at least 12 semester credits for which A-F grades are given and who earn at least a 3.75 grade-point average are given Dean's Honor Roll recognition. This includes a congratulatory letter from the dean, along with membership in the Laureate Society and participation in its activities. These students are allowed to take two semester credits beyond the maximum of 17.0 per term free of charge.
