In fall 2018, RCTC expanded its system for recognizing students for their excellence in scholastic achievement.
\nStudent\u2019s faculty, and the administration felt it was important to create additional recognition not only for traditional Dean\u2019s List recipients, but also for those students who had exceptionally high performance in the classroom, said Dr. Michael Anthony, vice president of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management.<\/p>\n
RCTC now also recognizes high achieving part-time students, who make up about 60 percent of the student population, Anthony added. The former system only recognized student enrolled in 12 credit hours or more. We have so many talented students at RCTC, and we believe that they should be recognized for their success.<\/p>\n
There are now three categories of achievement: the Dean\u2019s List, the President\u2019s List, and the High Academic Achievement list. Students who completed 12 credits or more for the same semester with a 3.0-3.7 GPA go on the Dean\u2019s List, students who completed 12 credits or more for the same semester with a 3.75-4.0 GPA, go on the President\u2019s List and student who completed 3-11 credits for the same semester with a 3.75-4.0 GPA go on the High Academic Achievement list.<\/p>\n
More than 1,800 students achieved recognition status for Fall Semester including 632 qualifying for the Dean\u2019s List, 404 for the President\u2019s List. A total of 838 students qualified for the High Academic Achievement List.<\/p>\n
