DEAN'S HONOR LIST
The following statements apply to undergraduate students in the Faculties of Arts and Humanities, Health Sciences (excluding professional programs), Information and Media Studies, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry (BMSc and MD), Don Wright Faculty of Music, Science and Social Science, and at Brescia University College, Huron University College and King's University College.
Undergraduate students with outstanding academic records are named to the Dean's Honor List in May and August of each year.
In May of each year the Dean of each Faculty establishes an Honor List containing the names of all full time students registered in that Faculty who completed a minimum of 4.0 courses during the previous Fall/Winter Session (September-April) and earned an average for the session of 80% or more with no failed courses. - Part time students may qualify for the list in May or August each time they accumulate a new set of at least 5.0 consecutive courses and earn an 80% average with no failed courses within that set.
- Full or part time graduating students who attained Dean's Honor List standing at their last checkpoint and maintained a cumulative average of 80% on any courses taken from then until graduation will be named to the Dean's Honor List upon graduation.
Note: Grades received on a Letter of Permission will be included in the average.
The following statements apply to other undergraduate faculties and schools:
- For the Richard Ivey School of Business, students in the Honors Business Administration program who achieve an overall average of at least 80% on a full year's work in HBA1 or HBA2, as defined by the program, will be designated as Pass with Distinction on UWO transcripts.
Students who complete a full year's work, as defined by the program, and attain grades in the top 10% of the class will be designated as Dean's Honor List on UWO transcripts. The average excludes exchange and non-Ivey courses.
Students who achieve Dean's Honor List status in both the HBA1 and HBA2 will be designated as an Ivey Scholar on UWO transcripts.
[Note: If an HBA student is found in breach of the Ivey Student Code of Professional Conduct, in addition to any penalty that may be imposed, the student may be ineligible to receive any Ivey honors designations.] - For the School of Dentistry, students must complete a full year's work as defined by the program and achieve an average of 80% or have a special recommendation of the Director.
- For the Faculty of Education, graduating students in the BEd/DipEd Program must achieve an overall minimum weighted average of 85% in order to qualify for inclusion on the Dean's Honor List.
- For the Faculty of Engineering, to be named to the Dean's Honor List students in Engineering must complete a minimum of five courses within the academic year (i.e., September - April) and achieve a minimum average of 80% on all courses with no failed courses.
- For the Faculty of Law, students must complete a full year's work as defined by the program and be in the top 10% of the class to be named to the Dean's Honor List for that year.
Only the grades earned in courses taken at the Faculty of Law in a particular year (provided those courses total at least 14 credit hours) are used to calculate a student's standing for an overall achievement award in that year. Students who attend the Faculty of Law on a letter of permission from another law school are not considered for the Dean's Honor List or an overall achievement award in that year.
The following statements apply to Concurrent Degree Programs:
Concurrent Degree students who are registered in the Fall/Winter session in an approved program of full time studies leading to two undergraduate degrees will be adjudicated for the Dean's Honor List of each Faculty provided that at least 3.5 courses of the year's work have been approved for credit toward the particular degree. - Engineering
Students registered in a concurrent degree program will be adjudicated for the Dean's Honor List for Engineering based on all courses taken in the academic year (i.e., September - April) provided the student is registered in a minimum of five courses. In addition, an average of 80% must be achieved on all courses taken toward the BESc degree with no failed courses. - Business
Students are considered for the Dean's Honor List during their first year of HBA. Students enrolled in Years 4 and 5 of the concurrent program are considered for the Dean's Honor List in Year 5 only. Only grades obtained in 400-level Business courses will be used in calculating averages for determining Dean's Honor List standing. Courses taken on exchange and courses taken outside the Business School are excluded. The Dean's Honor List for HBA2 typically includes the top 10% of all of the class and is determined by vote of the teaching faculty. Those who stand on the Dean's Honor List over all 300 and 400-level courses taken at the Business School at the completion of the concurrent program will graduate as Ivey Scholars.
Exception: Business and Law
- For students in an LLB and HBA program:
Students are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School during their first year of HBA and at the Faculty of Law during their first year of Law.
Students enrolled in Years 5 and 6 of the concurrent program are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School in Year 6 only. Only grades obtained in 400-level Business courses will be used in calculating averages for determining Dean's Honor List standing.
Courses taken on exchange and courses taken outside the Business School are excluded.
The Dean's Honor List for HBA2 typically includes the top 10% of all of the class and is determined by vote of the teaching faculty.
Those who stand on the Dean's Honor List over all 300 and 400-level courses taken at the Business School at the completion of the concurrent program will graduate as Ivey Scholars.
A student who takes Law courses totalling at least 12 credit hours in each of Years 5 and 6 of the concurrent program is considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law in each of those years on the basis of those courses. - For students in an LLB/MBA program:
Students are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law during their first year of Law and at the Richard Ivey School of Business during their first year of the MBA.
In the third and fourth years of the combined program, students who take Law courses totalling at least 12 credit hours in any year are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law on the basis of those courses.
In the fourth year, students also are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School on the basis of the MBA courses taken during the third and fourth years of the combined program. Only grades obtained in 600-level Buisiness courses will be used in calculating averages for determining Dean's Honor List standing.
Courses taken on exchange and courses taken outside of the Richard Ivey School of Business are excluded.

In the Faculty of Health Sciences, students will be adjudicated for the Dean's Honor List based on all courses taken in the academic year (i.e., September - April) provided the student is registered in a minimum of five courses.
