Scholastic Recognition

Dean’s List

At the conclusion of each semester, the recorder of the Office of Academic Programs determines which undergraduate students have earned grades reflecting outstanding scholastic work during the semester. The names of these students are publicly recognized and are posted in the school and on the school’s Web pages. In addition, various activities are conducted to honor the academic success of qualifying students. The Dean’s List is not compiled for summer sessions. In order to qualify for the Dean’s List for a given semester, students must meet all the following requirements:
  1. Earn a semester grade index of 3.5 or higher;

  2. Complete all courses in which they were enrolled at the end of the semester with a grade of C or higher, R, or P;

  3. Complete at least 6 credit hours for a letter grade. A letter grade is an A, B, C, D (including +/– ), F, or P, but not R;

  4. Complete a minimum of 15 credit hours while registered as a student in the School of Engineering and Technology, including the credit hours earned in the semester under consideration;

  5. Earn a semester grade point average that places the student in the top 10 percent of all students in the department or division who have completed at least 6 credit hours for a letter grade (as defined in item 3) that semester.

Graduation with Distinction

By awarding degrees "With Distinction" or "With Highest Distinction" the School of Engineering and Technology recognizes the outstanding scholastic achievement of selected associate and bachelor’s degree candidates.

Distinction at graduation is awarded on the basis of all course work taken for letter grades. Individuals must complete all the requirements for their field of study and meet the following conditions:

  1. A candidate for the bachelor’s degree with distinction must have earned at least 65 hours of credit in the Purdue University or Indiana University system. A candidate for an associate degree with distinction must have earned at least 35 hours of credit in the Purdue University or Indiana University system.

  2. Honors are awarded according to the following cumulative semester grade point averages:

    Top 10 percent—With Distinction

    Top 30 percent of the top 10 percent—With Highest Distinction

Note: For the purpose of determining graduation honors, the calculated cumulative semester grade point average includes all courses taken for a grade in either the Purdue or the Indiana University system, regardless of when the courses were taken.

Students who are awarded their degrees with distinction receive corresponding diplomas and are given special recognition during the annual commencement exercise.
