Reykjavik University Dean's List
Every semester the student with the highest cumulative grade point average in each class will have a chance to be placed on the Dean's List, and to have their tuition fees for the next semester waived.
To be eligible for the Dean's List, full-time Iceland School of Energy students must have completed at least 15 credits (30 ECTS). Only courses completed by students during the regular examination period or earlier are taken into account. When calculating average grades, only first-time attempts at passing exams apply. That is, repeat examinations do not apply. However, examinations taken due to illness at the time of the regular examination do apply.
