Frequently Asked Questions 

Every spring and fall semester, the University of Louisiana Monroe publishes two lists recognizing student accomplishments, the degree candidate list and the president's and dean's list.  Each list is issued after grades have been posted and the list can be processed for release.

ULM Office of Marketing & Communication publishes the list after certification by the Office of the Registrar. Due to the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the university is limited to what information can be provided over the telephone, email or social media.  The student (not his or her parent or guardian) must contact the Office of the Registrar to fix any errors in their grades or school record.
