<p>A 3.5 GPA gets me a position on the Dean's List, which I would like to put on my resume. This semester I will be on the Dean's List (I'm still waiting on one more grade, but I'm pretty sure), and I am wondering when I can put this on my resume, because I want to start sending it out soon. Can I put it on as soon as my grades come in and I have a 3.5, or do I have to wait until the Dean's List is actually published?</p>
<p>Once your grades are officially posted, if you click on unofficial transcript on Wolverine Access it will say what honors you have. I think then it is for real, and ok to put on your resume.</p>
<p>When will grades be officially posted? I have all my grades up, but it doesn’t say I’m on the dean’s list 
</p>
<p>Also, does U of M mail everyone a copy of their transcript every semester? Or do you have to order 1 (so I can have one to show my parents).</p>
<p>Yosup, transcripts are free, but you do have to order them yourself (you can order as many as you want). Go to Wolverineaccess.umich.edu -> student business, then look for the “order transcript” link under the “academic records” heading (it’s in the middle of the page near the bottom, or you can just control+f find it). You should be able to take it from there.</p>
<p>is dean list’s worth putting? how would one put it if one has consecutive 3.5+s?</p>
<p>Ok thanks pancakes!</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn’t put Dean’s list on your resume unless your transcript currently states so. If an interviewer has a copy of your transcript and your resume side by side and notices the difference, what can you really say? I don’t think ‘I expect to have it’ is a good excuse for putting it on. Just wait a bit to do so.</p>
<p>Also, on my resume I just have:</p>
<p>College of Engineering Dean’s List – Dec 08, Apr 09, Dec 09, Apr 10
as my consecutive listing of awards</p>
<p>J89, it will say it as soon as I get the grade for that last class, right? I don’t have to wait until half-way into the winter, do I?</p>
<p>^sorry, I don’t think it comes out immediately. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ve ever noticed when it went up, rather only that it was on my transcript.</p>
<p>Hmmm… If I send my resume out with “College of Engineering Dean’s List - Fall '10” on it, and the Fall '10 Dean’s List isn’t out, couldn’t I just tell them I will be on it due to my GPA? Either way, they won’t see my transcript until I send it to them, which would presumably come much later. (Right? Honestly, I have no idea how this works.) And by then it should be updated. And even if it’s not, it’s not bad to say I will be on the Dean’s List because of my GPA.</p>
<p>Dean’s List at Michigan is only for engineering students, correct? What honors are there for LSA or business students?</p>
<p>Vladenschlutte, are you planning to apply for internships (i.e. send out your resumes)?
If so, I would go ahead and right it in. It should be fine. But if it was for an interview you’ve already secured had that’s coming within the next month I wouldn’t.</p>
<p>umich2 - For all university students including LSA, you are given a “University Honors” statement on your transcript if your gpa is higher than, I believe, a 3.5.</p>
<p>Just curious (not trying to be disrespectful to anyone), but would having the dean’s list on your resume even help that much? It’s just a list of people who got a certain GPA (kinda like high honors in high school), and you’ll obviously have your GPA listed on your resume anyways so they’ll see that you have a 3.5+</p>
<p>Well Yosup, this (meaning Fall '10) is actually my 2nd semester, and the first one I didn’t have a 3.5. I will still be under a 3.5 cumulative.</p>
<p>I think there’s a nice touch to your resume adding awards because it distinguishes you from others.</p>
<p>It’s probably fine to leave on if you don’t have much work experience, but I would take it off once you get some, unless you’re still at about a page.</p>
<p>Ok cool, and if we’re engineering students, if we’re on the dean’s list, will we also have University Honors on our transcript? Or is it 1 or the other?</p>
<p>There is a separate Engineering Latin Honors which is separate from the Dean’s List. 3.2 is Cum Laude, 3.5 is Magna Cum Laude, 3.75 is Summa Cum Laude.</p>
<p>^ True, but isn’t there something else called University honors? The thing that j89 was talking about, could we put both Dean’s list and Univ. Honors on our resume?</p>
<p>you are not allowed to put latin honors on gpa until after you graduate.</p>
<p>For resume, just put Cumulative GPA: 3.70 (Dean’s List Honors)</p>
<p>You dont even have to specify which term…it’s technically not incorrect since you have been awarded dean’s list and you didnt specify which term</p>
