The Campus Honors Program (CHP) offers special challenges and opportunities to a small number of academically talented and highly motivated undergraduate students. For more information about the Campus Honors program, refer to honors.illinois.edu.
Bronze Tablet
Continuous academic achievement is recognized by inscribing the student's name on a Bronze Tablet that hangs on a wall in the Main Library. To qualify for Bronze Tablet, the candidate must rank in the upper three percent of the College graduating class on the basis of Overall grade point average. Bronze Tablet candidates are specially honored at both the College of Education and University Commencement ceremonies in May.
Dean's List
Students are accorded Dean's List recognition at the conclusion of each semester based on the following criteria:
Completion of at least fourteen academic semester hours taken in which traditional letter grades are earned. This excludes courses graded credit/no credit, satisfactory/unsatisfactory, and test-based credit that is graded pass/fail.
Dean’s List eligibility is limited to high academically achieving students in the College of Education.
No consideration is given for the Dean's List until final grades are in for courses designated I, NR, or DFR. Students who are named on the Dean's List are notified by mail and will receive a certificate.
