JERSEY CITY, N.J. | �鶹��ý has announced that 1,586 undergraduate students have earned distinction for their academic success by being named to the Spring 2021 semester Dean’s List.

For a student to be eligible for Dean’s List accolades, they must earn a semester GPA average of 3.50 or better while enrolled in 12 or more countable credits.

Woodrow Lewis Jr., Associate Dean of Students, was pleased to share the news on behalf of the Division of Student Affairs and the Dean of Students' Office, as a point of pride for students who have had to deal with the difficulties of learning in the midst of a pandemic.

“Earning a 3.5-grade point average or above is very difficult while balancing life's challenges and trying to regain a sense of normalcy. Hopefully, Spring 2021 will be our final mostly virtual semester, but our students have demonstrated an unprecedented level of resiliency while successfully navigating the imposed norm. That's why our Gothic Knights are so special. The Dean's List recognizes those who receive a grade point average of 3.50 or higher as full-time undergraduate students. We understand that success requires collaborative efforts between multiple stakeholders. Students who achieved this honor worked diligently and received guidance from dedicated faculty and essential support services from various departments. These academic acknowledgments are foundational pieces for more significant future accomplishments. The acknowledged Gothic Knights embody the intellectual integrity, grit, and determination required to be leaders and great ambassadors for the university.”

Students who conclude their undergraduate studies with a 3.65 GPA or better will graduate with honors and be recognized at Commencement as cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude, if their GPA equates to the following:

• 3.65-3.79 cum laude
• 3.80-3.89 magna cum laude
• 3.90-4.00 summa cum laude
