Dear A&L Student,

I have the pleasure of notifying the best students in the college that they have been chosen for the Dean's List. The Registrar has informed me that your grade point average and number of credit hours taken for the Fall 2021 semester meet the qualifications for this honor. Congratulations on your accomplishment! The hard work and success of students like you make our efforts as teachers and administrators very rewarding.

Please note that Old Dominion University confers baccalaureate degrees with honors according to the following cumulative grade point averages on work completed at Old Dominion:

Cum Laude 3.40-3.65
Magna Cum Laude 3.66-3.85
Summa Cum Laude 3.86-4.00

These designations apply only to candidates who have earned 60 or more credit hours of work at Old Dominion University. Fifty-four of the hours must be in letter-graded courses.

All of us in the College of Arts and Letters wish you continued success in your future endeavors. If you are thinking of graduate studies, I encourage you to consider the many excellent programs offered by our college and by ODU. We hope to hear from you about your accomplishments and successes. Thank you for contributing to the academic excellence of our college.

Sincerely,
Dr. Jonathan Leib
Interim Dean, College of Arts and Letters
