Hi,

I'm an undergraduate Faculty of Arts student at the University of Calgary. I was registered in a total of 4.5 full course-equivilents in the previous Fall/Winter semester. I maintained a GPA of 3.933

My understanding is that this should qualify me for the deans list? No?

If so, should I receive a letter? I haven't received anything yet... and the transcript I request 2 weeks ago did not appear to display any acknowledgement.

And another question, is there a benefit to being on the deans list? Does it matter if I got lost in the paper work? Is it worth trying to get this settled?

Faculty of Arts can be a bit slow. When I was on the Dean's List for the Faculty of Social Science it took them a while to send me a letter, but I did receive one and it was dated July 11. In Haskayne (I was in a joint degree program), their Dean's List letters for the previous winter semester were dated/sent out in May.

Your name is forever immortalized in a bronze idol, where your fellow peers can see your success and worship around it!

Which is why I put it on my resume even though I graduated with a 3.0
