<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Agvisors: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tomorrow CALS students who were awarded Dean’s List for Fall 2020 will receive an email from Dr. Staten congratulating them on their achievement.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students will receive one of three email versions based on their award: Honorable Mention, Dean’s List and Dean’s List with Distinction. All awardees have the opportunity to request a print certificate (sent via mail) and opt-in for their
name to be added to the Fall 2020 Dean’s List webpage. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also included in the email is a statement about potentially progressing toward 2020/21 Academic Distinction (awarded based on the entire academic year, aka Honors Convocation). That statement is copied below (highlighted here only for emphasis):<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type="disc">

</span></span>to ensure you are enrolled in the right amount of for-credit and letter-graded units.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to give advisors a heads up that students may reach out to review their potential eligibility for Academic Distinction. If they do, the Academic Distinction policy and criteria are outlined here:
<a href="https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/academic-distinction-deans-list-honors-and-awards">
https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/academic-distinction-deans-list-honors-and-awards</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please note: In addition to completing a total of 30 units with a specific GPA, Academic Distinction is based only on units completed for credit and letter <a href="https://catalog.arizona.edu/policy/grades-and-grading-system">grade</a> (excluding
all Pass/Fail [P/F] and Superior/Pass [S/P] grades). And, given that 2/9/2021 is the last day to change from pass/fail to regular grading or vice versa for the regular session, this could be important for some students.
