Any undergraduate or graduate student who, not being classed as University scholar, obtains at the end of the semester a weighted average of 1.75 or better, or 1.5 or better, respectively, is given this honorific scholarship. College scholars are listed in the Dean's List of Scholars.
In addition to the general weighted average prescribed, a student must have taken during the previous semester at least 15 units of academic credit or the normal load prescribed (in the case of graduate students, not less than 8 units); must be up-to-date with all the non-academic requirements (PE and MS); and must have no grade below 3 in any academic or non-academic subject. Honorific scholarships do not entitle the holders to any tuition fee waiver, either partial or full.
