<P> A Dean's List is an academic award, or notation, used to recognize the level of highest scholarship demonstrated by students in a college or university . This system is most often used in North America, though institutions in Europe, Asia, and Australia may also employ similar measures . It is often synonymous with honor roll and honor list, but should not be confused with honours degrees . </P> <P> Generally, students enrolled in college or university would need to satisfy a series of specific requirements before receiving the Dean's List . These requirements may differ across institutions, but in most cases will require students to enroll in a full - time capacity, to achieve a specific grade point average within the academic term, and to maintain a specific cumulative grade point average throughout enrollment . Universities may often establish further rewards, such as Annual Dean's Lists, for students that demonstrate even greater academic distinction . As such, a Dean's List and its direct derivatives are usually intended for students that demonstrate highest scholarship across multiple disciplines, and not necessarily bound to a specific field of study . </P>
