Each year honor lists are announced for every undergraduate school and division
of the University on the Bloomington campus. Honors lists are prepared for the
University Division; College of Arts and Sciences; Kelley School of Business;
School of Continuing Studies; School of Education; School of Health, Physical
Education, and Recreation; School of Informatics; School of Journalism; School
of Music; School of Nursing; School of Optometry; School of Public and
Environmental Affairs; School of Social Work; and Overseas Study Program.
Students on the Bloomington campus in an allied health concentration are part
of the University Division.
Students qualify for honors by meeting the following standards of hours
carried and of grade point average for either one of the two regular semesters
or the combined summer sessions preceding Founders Day.
A student on the Bloomington campus must have completed 12 credit hours
either in a regular semester or within the summer sessions. Courses with
grades of Incomplete and Withdrawal are excluded in determining the hours
completed. A student must also achieve a grade point average of 3.5 or higher.
Grades of A, B, C, D, and F are included in calculating this average, and the
grades of I, W, P, and S are excluded because they carry no grade point value.
Students in the Overseas Study Program must have been enrolled in 24 or
more credit hours in the program’s past academic year or 12 or more credit
hours in semester programs during that year, and must have achieved a grade
point average of 3.5 or higher. Grades of A, B, C, D, and F are included in
calculating this average, and the grades of I, W, P, and S are excluded because
they carry no grade point value.
The grade point system used assigns 4 points for each grade of A+ and A, 3.7
for A–, 3.3 for B+, 3.0 for B, 2.7 for B–, 2.3 for C+, 2.0 for C, 1.7 for C–, 1.3 for
D+, 1.0 for D, 0.7 for D–, and none for F, I, W, P, or S.
Straight A students, those with a grade point average of 4.0, head the honor
lists. All other honor students (except those in the University Division and
the Overseas Study Program, who are listed in alphabetical order) are listed by
class standing within their school or division.

whose circulation includes the areas indicated by the zip codes as reflected on
