Student news
KU News Service publishes names of University of Kansas graduates and honor roll/dean's list undergraduates so Jayhawks can receive recognition from friends and neighbors.
Fall 2025 honor roll
Nearly 9,600 undergraduate students at the University of Kansas earned dean's list distinction for the fall 2025 semester. The honor roll comprises undergraduates who meet requirements in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and in the schools of Architecture & Design, Business, Education & Human Sciences, Engineering, Health Professions, Journalism & Mass Communications, Music, Nursing, Pharmacy, Professional Studies and Social Welfare.
Fall 2025 honorees include students whose dean's list status was conferred before Jan. 26. Students who believe their names were mistakenly omitted should directly contact their academic advisers. Not all students opt to have their names published.
Summer-fall 2024, spring 2025 graduates
The names of more than 6,200 graduates at the University of Kansas for summer and fall 2024 and spring 2025 have been announced by the University Registrar. Many graduates and candidates for degree celebrated by participating in KU Commencement, which took place May 17. Summer 2025 degrees are conferred in early fall.
Note: Not all graduates have made their name and hometown information publicly available. Those students can email KU News Service if they would like their information included.
Spring 2025 honor roll
Nearly 8,700 undergraduate students at KU earned honor roll distinction for the spring 2025 semester. Requirements vary by school and may depend on a minimum credit-hour load. Students should contact their academic adviser if they have questions about inclusion on the list. Spring 2025 honorees include students whose honor roll status was conferred before June 26.
Why am I not listed on the graduate list/honor roll?
The most common reason that a student’s name does not appear with other candidates for degree or honor roll recipients is that a hold has been placed on your directory information, which means we can’t release your name, graduation and/or award status or hometown. This can be updated in Enroll & Pay, and then you can contact us at kunews@ku.edu.
I am a proud parent/grandparent of a KU student and have questions about if or when their information will be published. Can KU News Service help me?
To protect their privacy, we need to talk directly with our students about their academic accomplishments and hometown news preferences. Students should contact us at kunews@ku.edu if we can post and share their information.
When will the next list of KU graduates be released?
Names of summer and fall 2023 and spring 2024 graduates will be published in late July 2024 once degrees are posted by the Registrar’s Office.
Is the Commencement program listing the same as the KU News Service listing?
No, these are processed separately, in part because KU News Service publishes names by term. Please make sure your name is designated as releasable and that your name and hometown city preferences are updated in Enroll & Pay.
When are the spring and fall dean’s list/honor rolls published?
KU News Service publishes the honor roll each shortly after receipt from the Registrar’s Office, usually during the second week of February (fall) and July (spring). Some students will be notified of their school honors a few weeks before the full university list is available for KU News Service to publish.
