Dean's List

Back to Policies and Procedures

The requirements to be on the Dean's List are different in each college. In the College of Education and Human Ecology, a student meets Dean's List requirements by:

  • Earning a GPA for the semester or academic term of 3.5 or higher on 12 or more hours through regular enrollment, provided:   

    • At least 9 hours are graded A-D and no hours are graded PA;

    • The student has earned no grade of E, EN, U, UEN, NP, NEN, NG, I, IX, or P during that semester/term.

  • Application of the Grade Forgiveness Rule to a course completed in a prior semester will not retroactively qualify a student for the Dean’s List.

Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities will be administered in compliance with the law as of June 27, 2025.
