Dean’s Letters of Commendation

Letters of Commendation are awarded to freshman or sophomore students who receive a grade of Honors in 75 percent of their required courses or earn 75 percent of the available honors points. Letters of Commendation are awarded to junior students who achieve a grade of Honors in at least five of the six clerkships or a grade of Honors in four clerkships and High Satisfactory in the remaining clerkships. A ceremony is held in the fall to honor this academic achievement.

Department specific awards are also presented for academic excellence in specific subject areas. These awards can be recognized during the fall awards ceremony or at graduation.
