Academic Excellence Awards

At Umm Al Quwain University, we celebrate academic excellence by recognizing students through the Dean’s List and Chancellor’s List awards. These distinctions honor the highest levels of academic achievement each semester and reflect the university’s commitment to recognizing students who demonstrate exceptional performance, fostering a culture of excellence and motivation within our academic community.

Dean’s List Criteria

The Dean’s List award is granted to students who meet the following criteria:

• A semester GPA of 3.5 or higher.
• Enrollment in at least four courses during the semester.

Recognized students will receive a certificate of appreciation in an official ceremony organized by the university at the beginning of the new semester.

Chancellor’s List Criteria

Among the students recognized on the Dean’s List, the top three students from each college, based on their GPA, will be selected for the Chancellor’s List award. This is the highest academic distinction granted to outstanding students in each college.

Nomination & Recognition Process

Nomination: Students are automatically nominated based on their semester GPA, provided they meet the academic excellence criteria.

Recognition: Students demonstrating exceptional academic performance will be honored in a special ceremony held at the beginning of each semester, where printed certificates will be awarded by the Chancellor and the Deans.

Awards: Honored students will receive certificates of appreciation highlighting their academic achievements, along with additional privileges. We encourage all students to strive for these prestigious academic honors and continue to pursue the highest standards of academic excellence.
