Academic recognition for outstanding scholastic achievement at Portland Community College (PCC) is formally acknowledged through the Dean’s List. Eligibility typically requires full-time enrollment status and attainment of a designated grade point average (GPA) during a term. Students who meet these criteria are included on the Dean’s List, a publicly available record signifying their academic excellence. Specific requirements and GPA thresholds may vary and are subject to change by the institution.
Inclusion on the Dean’s List at PCC provides several benefits. It serves as a positive indicator of academic capability for future employers and graduate programs. It also provides a sense of accomplishment and motivation for continued academic success. Historically, such lists have been a standard method employed by educational institutions to recognize and celebrate student achievement, fostering a culture of excellence within the academic community.
