Student Honors

Dean’s List

Wayne Community College recognizes outstanding academic achievement through the Dean’s List. The Dean’s List is composed of students who are enrolled for at least 12 semester hours (9 semester hours for summer term) and earn a grade point average of at least 3.60 and less than 4.0 for the semester, with no grade below “C”. A grade of I/IE (incomplete), X (credit by exam), or R (re-enroll) will exclude a student from the Dean’s List.  Students with an IE grade can request to have their status reevaluated for eligibility after the IE grade has been officially changed.

Honors Program

The purpose of the Honors Program is to offer a challenging educational atmosphere of enrichment and exploration for students enrolled in AA, AS, and AE programs. The program is designed for students who have excelled in the classroom, who have proven to be self-disciplined in their studies, and who have demonstrated a commitment to learning. The Honors Program includes opportunities for service-learning, leadership training, and extended studies. The aim for Wayne Community College is to help accelerated students better prepare themselves to transfer to a four year educational institution and to excel in leadership roles in their profession and in the community.
