National Honor Societies -
Superior students who maintain a high grade point average
will be invited to join one or more of seven national honor societies for two-year college
students. These are Phi Theta Kappa, for general academic excellence, all majors invited;
Alpha Beta Gamma, for Business majors; Sigma Phi Alpha, for Dental Hygiene majors;
Alpha Delta Omega, for Human Services Technology majors; Sigma Delta Mu, for Spanish
students; Alpha Mu Gamma for foreign language students and international students
whose national language is other than English; Sigma Kappa Delta for English and

Superior students who maintain a good grade point average are considered for various
scholarship awards. The Darton State College Foundation and many clubs and businesses
provide scholarships to students with academic potential or special talent. For information
contact the Darton State College Director of Financial Aid.
Honors Awards
- Darton State College sponsors an Honors Awards Ceremony each
spring semester. On this special occasion students who have excelled in various academic
areas and student life are recognized.
Credit by Exam
– Any student who believes he/she is proficient in an academic subject
is encouraged to apply for credit by examination. Credit by examination cannot be
awarded unless the student is enrolled at Darton State College. Credit by examination will
not be awarded in courses for which the student has already earned a grade
(A,B,C,D,F,WF). Only course credit will be awarded for successful credit by exam; no
academic quality points will be assigned. Thus, credits earned by examination will not have
any effect on the students’ grade point average.
Students may attempt credit by exam by taking either an institutional challenge exam or
a College Level Examination Program (CLEP) exam.
