IOWA CITY, IOWA (June 18, 2024) — More than 1,200 undergraduate students at the University of Iowa were named to the President's List for the 2024 spring semester.

President's list status was earned by 109 first-year undergraduates during the 2024 spring semester at Iowa; 258 second-year students; 332 third-year students; and 580 fourth-year students.

The President's List was established in the fall of 1983 to recognize academic excellence.

University of Iowa undergraduates who achieve a grade-point average (GPA; 4.0 is an A) of 4.0 in twelve semester hours or more of UI graded coursework and who have no "I" marks (incompletes) or "O" marks (no grade reported) on their records for two consecutive semesters (excluding summer session) are recognized by inclusion on the President's List.

Please note that courses graded with the pass/non-pass system are not included in grade-point average calculations or graded semester hour counts, potentially impacting eligibility for the president's list.
