Scholastic Recognition Programs
Dean’s List
The Dean’s List is prepared at the completion of each semester to recognize high scholastic achievement. Students are placed on the Dean’s List when they have obtained a semester grade point average of 3.2 or higher while enrolled for 12 or more semester hours of non-developmental courses. Students who receive a grade of "D, F, I, NC, or W" on any course will be ineligible for the Dean’s List for that semester. Semester credits earned through Advanced Placement, Articulated Credit or Challenge Exams are not used in the calculation for eligibility into the Dean’s List.
Honors Program
Highly motivated, intellectually gifted, academically well-prepared, unusually creative, or especially talented students need and deserve a progressive course of study that provides new challenges to their exceptional abilities. Laredo College Honors Program has always attracted serious students in the pursuit of academic excellence, community involvement, and leadership commitment. Educators at the college are dedicated to presenting students with the most stimulating educational experiences and environment possible.
