Created by the Undergraduate Faculty for awarding beginning in 2017, the President’s List consists of those full-time, undergraduate, degree-seeking students who, for grades received from July 1 to June 30 for each academic year: 1) have completed at least 24 W&L-graded credits toward the GPA during the preceding academic year. For the fall, winter, and spring terms combined, the following will not be considered: transfer credit and grades of Incomplete, Pass, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, Work-in-Progress. Also, credits associated with original attempts of courses repeated in the same year are not included in the calculation. 2) have received only grades of C (2.0) or higher in graded courses of at least one credit in that period; and 3) were among the top 30 percent of the students in their respective class year so eligible based on these grades during one academic year.
