Graduation Procedures
Degrees Awarded with Distinction
To graduate with academic distinction, baccalaureate and associate degree candidates must rank within the highest 10 percent of the graduating class of their respective degree-granting College/School. Additionally, baccalaureate degree candidates must have completed a minimum of 60 credit hours at Indiana University. Associate degree candidates must have completed at least half the hours required for their degree at Indiana University. Each degree-granting College/School determines the appropriate GPA requirements for the three levels of recognition: distinction, high distinction, and highest distinction.
