FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The University of Arkansas is recognizing students for earning a place on the Spring 2026 Chancellor’s List, the university’s highest semester academic honor for undergraduates.

Paige Byrd of Hermitage joins a select group of students who have achieved a 4.0 grade-point average for the semester while completing at least 12 credit hours of coursework required for graduation.

“Earning a perfect GPA while balancing a full schedule of coursework and commitments outside the classroom is truly an achievement worth celebrating,” said Chancellor Charles Robinson. “These students set a high standard for academic excellence at the University of Arkansas, elevating the experience of their classmates and professors alike. I congratulate them on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to all they will accomplish in the years ahead.”

The Spring 2026 Chancellor’s List is available online.

All students on the Chancellor’s List also automatically earn recognition on the university’s Dean’s List, which honors undergraduates who achieve a minimum grade-point average of 3.75 for the term while completing at least 12 credit hours.
