Digital Badges - Prove Your Accomplishments

A digital badge is a visual representation of a skill, achievement, or certification that you've earned. It's more than just an image—each badge contains metadata that verifies what you accomplished, who issued it, and when it was earned. You can share digital badges on your resume, LinkedIn profile, email signature, or anywhere else you want to showcase your accomplishments.

What type of badges can I earn at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø?

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø currently offers two types of digital badges:

Academic Achievement Badges
Awarded to students who demonstrate academic excellence by earning a place on the President’s List or Dean’s List.

Student Leadership Badges
Recognize students who take on meaningful roles in campus life, including leadership in clubs, organizations, peer mentoring, and other student initiatives.

More badge categories may be added in the future as new programs are developed.

Why earn a badge?

Digital badges help you:

  • Showcase your achievements in a verified and portable format.
  • Stand out to employers or educational institutions with credentials that are easy to validate.
  • Track your growth over time as you build new skills and complete more learning milestones.
  • Share your success with peers, employers, or your professional network online.

How do we earn badges?

  • President’s List: Awarded to full-time students who earn a semester GPA of a 4.0.
  • Dean’s List: Awarded to full-time students who earn a semester GPA of 3.5 to 3.99.

How do I save and share my badges?

Once you’ve been awarded a badge, you will receive an email encouraging you to go into Achievement Studio to accept your badge. Once registered, you’ll be able to track your progress, earn badges, and share your achievements all in one place.

Make sure to add a personal email address to your Achievement Studio account so that you can continue to manage your badges after you graduate from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.
