New Indiana Diploma Guarantees College Admission
New Indiana Diploma Guarantees College Admission for Class of 2029 and Beyond
Starting with the Class of 2029, Indiana students will have a new opportunity to unlock automatic college acceptance—thanks to the state’s new Enrollment Honors Plus diploma.
Students who earn this diploma will be guaranteed admission into all seven of Indiana’s public universities, including flagship campuses like Indiana University Bloomington and Purdue University West Lafayette.
This bold move aims to expand access to higher education across the state. While the program is open to every student, education advocates believe it will have a particularly powerful impact on Black students and those in urban school districts. These students often face additional barriers to college entry, even when they meet academic standards.
By creating a direct path to college, the Enrollment Honors Plus diploma removes a major hurdle: the uncertainty of acceptance. As a result, it encourages more students to stay focused, graduate, and pursue their next chapter with confidence.
Furthermore, this change aligns with statewide efforts to boost college enrollment, which has seen declines in recent years—especially among students of color and those from lower-income families. Leaders hope this new diploma will close gaps, build momentum, and reinforce the message that higher education is within reach.
Of course, earning the Enrollment Honors Plus diploma will require commitment. Students must meet specific academic benchmarks, but the reward is clear: peace of mind and a guaranteed seat at some of Indiana’s top institutions.
Ultimately, this new initiative sends a strong message: Indiana is investing in its students, removing systemic barriers, and opening doors to brighter futures.
