Dean's List and Dean's Scholars
Introduced in 2008 for the 2007 academic year, Massey Business School Dean’s List and Dean's Scholars celebrate academic success at undergraduate level.
To qualify, students will have achieved outstanding results and are likely to be in the top 5% of their class. This usually means a grade average of A- or better for the equivalent of a full year’s course load.
Dean's List and Dean's Scholar selection criteria
Dean's List criteria
- Candidates must be enrolled in an undergraduate degree, including conjoint, in the Massey Business School.
- Candidates must have studied at least 120 credits from one or more qualifying programmes over a maximum of two consecutive academic years.
- Courses with a final grade of WD or DC will not contribute to the quantum of courses studied for the purposes of meeting this requirement.
- Candidates other than those enrolled in the Bachelor of AgriCommerce, Bachelor of Communication, Bachelor of Sport Management or a conjoint degree must have studied at least 90 credits from business prefix courses in the relevant period.
- Candidates enrolled in either the Bachelor of AgriCommerce, Bachelor of Communication, Bachelor of Sport Management or a conjoint degree must have studied at least 60 credits from business prefix courses in the relevant period.
- If candidates have studied 120 credits or more in the most recent academic year for which the awards are being made, no credits from prior years will be included.
- Where a student has studied more than 120 credits in the relevant period, all courses studied as part of the qualifying programmes in the period will be included in the GPA calculation, including courses without a business prefix.
- If a student receives a Dean’s List award for a particular year, courses in that year cannot be used the following year to meet the minimum workload threshold nor as part of the GPA calculation.
- All candidates must have a GPA of at least 7.0 across the relevant courses.
Dean's Scholar
- Candidates must have completed their qualification, including at least 240 credits of their qualification completed at Massey University, and attained a GPA of at least 8 over all the Massey University courses completed towards that qualification.
