After the end of each quarter, all students in degree-seeking programs who earned a high GPA for the quarter are awarded a certificate of achievement.
- Those students who have earned a 3.75 to 4.0 GPA for the quarter are placed on the Dean's List.
- Those students who have earned a 3.25 to 3.749 GPA for the quarter are placed on the Honors List.
Every campus gives out awards a little differently; most campuses will reach out to the honors and dean's list students and invite them to a ceremony on campus. If an honoree cannot attend, the certificate is generally mailed after the ceremony takes place.
Answer:: Rasmussen does not send these lists to local newspapers. However, some campuses publish the list of their own students in their campus newsletters.
Students are alerted (emailed or mailed) when they earn a Deans List or Honors award.

Kate, Librarian Reply: To my knowledge they do; however, you can check with your Advisor for verification.
Sara, Librarian Reply: Hi Pamela, all the Rasmussen College schools do participate in this recognition. Contact your student advisor for a copy of the list or to request a certificate.
