Oracle Honor Society
The Oracle Honor Society is an honor society for freshmen at Ithaca College. Student membership in the Oracle Society is limited to those who rank academically in the top five percent of the freshman class at the end of the spring semester.

Ithaca College Honors Program
Started in Fall 1996, the Ithaca College Honors Program provides talented students an opportunity to learn with their peers in both an academic and a social setting.  First-year students who have done particularly well in their first semester may be nominated to the program by a member of the faculty.

Humanities and Sciences Dean's List
Each semester, students are selected for the dean's list in recognition of superior scholastic performance. Students qualify by attaining a minimum GPA of 3.70. They must complete a minimum of 15 credits, of which at least 12 are graded. A grade of D or F or an incomplete (I) in a course automatically disqualifies the student from the dean's list, regardless of the overall GPA attained for that semester.

Business Dean's List
In order to earn a place on the dean's list in the School of Business, students must satisfy all of the listed criteria.

Roy H. Park School of Communications Dean's List
The dean's list in the Roy H. Park School of Communications is made up of majors in each class who meet all the following criteria during the semester:

- A minimum semester average of 3.70
- Completion of a minimum of 15 credits, of which at least 12 are graded, not pass/fail or S/D/F option
- No final grades of D, F, or I (incomplete)

The Dean's list, which is awarded each semester, is based on a student's semester GPA rather than the cumulative GPA for all semesters the student has attended Ithaca College.

At the end of each semester, students who satisfy each of the listed criteria are named to the dean's list in the School of Music.

Health Sciences and Human Performance Dean's List
