Merit Pages
Merit is a virtual portfolio of your achievements and showcases them by displaying the awards and recognitions you’ve received and verifies them as authentic on behalf of DSU. You can also customize your Merit Page by adding extracurricular activities, job experience, and more!
We use this online platform to recognize you for the achievements you’ve earned during your time with us such as making the dean’s list, studying abroad, earning scholarships, and many more. When possible, Merit will share your achievements with your hometown newspaper.
When you’re featured, you’ll get a notice of the announcement through your DSU email. You can also use this platform to share your accomplishments with friends, family, and potential employers by claiming your Merit Page account!
If you do not wish to participate in Merit, you can opt-out.
Featured Badges
Excellence in Communication

The Excellence in Communication badge is awarded to students in all disciplines who have demonstrated a high level of achievement in communication-related courses. Specifically, it is awarded to students who have earned an A or B grade in College Composition I and II (ENGL 110 and 120), and Fundamentals of Public Speaking (COMM 110). This recognition can be verified by employers who are looking for workers with good written and spoken communication skills and will be posted to the student’s Merit Pages account. It will be awarded beginning the spring semester of 2021 for students who complete the requirements during or after that semester. |

FAQs
The Office of University Relations receives a list of students to be recognized for an achievement and writes a short article. The article is then published to the students’ Merit page and sent to the hometown newspaper of each student. The hometown for each student is based on “home address” in Campus Connection.
