Three different honors recognize student academic achievement at UW-Stout:
The Dean's List (formerly the Chancellor's Award) recognizes undergraduate students who complete a minimum of 12 undergraduate GPA-affecting credits with a 3.5 or higher grade point average for the Fall and Spring terms. Students can request a certificate noting the achievement. Four Star Recognition award is given to students who attain a straight "A" average with a minimum of 12 undergraduate credits for the semester.
The Dean's list is maintained by the Chancellor's Office. For more information, regarding postings, confirmation of award status, and other general information about the award contact the Chancellor's Office at (715) 232-2441 or visit their website.
For information regarding grade point averages or award eligibility, contact Registration and Records at (715) 232-2121.
The Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award, a bronze medallion three inches in diameter and bearing a relief of the Bowman Hall tower, the name of Stout, and the motto "Learning, Skill, Industry, and Honor", is presented annually to seniors who have contributed in student activities, leadership, and scholastic ability. A committee composed of faculty, administrators and students make the selection. Only 1 percent of the student body is eligible to receive this award. The Samuel E. Wood Medallion Award is presented to seniors only and on a local basis. To those seniors who receive it, it brings prestige and honor, as it is the highest award any student at UW-Stout can achieve.
