As Armyb77 said, it is by email. The Arnold Fletcher Award is not connected to any national honor society, it is simply a college recognition, but the Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor, Sigma Beta Delta Honor, and other specific honors are honor societies. The award and all the honors are listed in the transcript under Awards and Honors (or should be - Sigma Beta Delta is not listed on my transcript, although I did receive the notification and invitation to join the honor society).

I'll see if I can post a photo of the diploma.
I haven't been able to be on the forum in a while, since I am busy taking courses at a local B&M university working towards a masters, but I will try to visit every now and then, and catch up with my DF friends. This forum has been a wonderful help, and I wish I had found it earlier. I have been telling people about the non-traditional options (CLEP/DSST/etc.) and directing them to DF. I hope to continue to offer whatever help I can and "pay it forward".
Thank you to all the wonderful people on this forum who have been so helpful!
