Academic Distinction                                                      

Academic distinction for excellence in scholarship is awarded at Commencement to a limited number of students graduating in business with the Bachelor of Science degree.  All students graduating with distinction must have completed at least 60 credits at Indiana University. Graduates receiving these honors have them so noted on their diplomas and in the Commencement program and are eligible to wear the cream and crimson fourragère at Commencement. Students must complete their final semester with a grade point average sufficient to warrant the diploma and transcript notation of academic distinction.

Delta Sigma Pi Scholarship Key

Since 1912, Delta Sigma Pi has annually awarded the Scholarship Key at each college or university where the Fraternity maintains an active chapter. The Scholarship Key is presented to the graduating student with the highest cumulative academic average toward a degree in business administration, regardless of whether the person is or is not a member of Delta Sigma Pi. In cases where two or more students exactly tie for the highest academic average, additional Scholarship Keys are awarded.
