Semester honors are based on the WSU grade point average, and the names of recipients are published each semester. The Deanâs Honor Roll is composed of students enrolled in 12 or more semester hours of graded work who achieve a grade point average of 3.500 or higher for a semester.

The requirement at some colleges and universities is a 3.9 or 4.0 average over four years of college. Very few students are able to achieve these high grades, or the magna cum laude which requires a 3.8 out of 4.0 overall average for all four years of undergraduate work.
