Des Moines Area Community College and the University of Maine announced that several Bucks County students made their respective Dean’s Lists.
Des Moines president Rob Denson shared that Michaele Johnson, of Feasterville, who is studying liberal arts, earned a spot on the spring semester Dean’s List. To be eligible, a student must have completed a minimum of six credits and earned a 3.5 to 3.99 grade point average for that semester.
At the University of Maine, Katelynn McFadden, of Bensalem; Kristina Mertz, of Feasterville-Trevose; Noa Buzby, A.J. Drobot and Brian Yorkiewicz, of Southampton; and Theresa Max, of Ottsville, were among 3,670 students recognized for achieving Dean’s List honors in the spring 2021 semester.
Due to the unusual and challenging circumstances faced this semester amid the global pandemic, the university modified its Dean’s List policy for the spring term. The requirement that students earn 12 calculable credits to be eligible for the Dean’s List was waived. Instead, students were eligible if they earned a minimum of nine letter-graded (A-F on the transcript) credits for full-time students, in addition to the criteria in the catalog.
For part-time students to be eligible, they must have earned at least six letter-graded credits across the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters, in addition to the criteria in the catalog for part-time Dean’s List. Courses with P/F grades selected by the student did not count toward the total of nine or six.
