Hype Points for Having Fun at LBCC

Hype Points, a program designed by the Student Leadership Council, is incentive to get involved on campus. Showing school spirit and supporting fellow peers can be rewarding in more ways than one.

Members of the SLC will scan student ID cards on Welcome Day to dish out Hype Points for the day's festivities. A booth in the courtyard and a SLC representative at the bookstore will be giving out points to start off the term.

The more points collected, the more chances to win giveaways.

All points are monitored by the SLC and the program is supported by the LBCC administration. To get points you must have your student ID in order to scan it. When scanned your points will download in connection with your student "X" number.

"No ID, no points," said Mike Jones, SLC legislative affairs. "Big events, big prizes. Little events are daily opportunities."

Each of the opportunities below are ways you can collect points. There is a tier system for points earned and a yearly grand prize drawing for the most involved students on campus. Hype Points cannot cary over to the next school year with the exception of points collected by students at the soft opening of the program during Hype Fest last spring.

1 to 500 points = 1 ticket
501 to 1,250 points = 3 tickets
1,251 or more points = 6 tickets

Each ticket earned is added to a pool of potential winners. When tickets are drawn, the more tickets you have the higher your chances. There is a maximum of six tickets per term. You can only win one drawing per term.

At the end of each year the Top 10 students with the most overall points will be entered into a drawing for the grand prize. A special prize will also go to the student with the absolute most total points.

Potential prizes are bookstore certificates, free coffee, tickets to performing arts or choir events, or useful student tools that will remain a surprise.

LEVEL 1 EVENTS FOR 10 POINTS

The Hot Shot Cafe: Daily opportunities such as buying coffee at the Hot Shot Cafe can get you points. When purchasing, offer your ID card to receive the points. Points can only be collected once a day for Hot Shot purchases.

The Bookstore: Buying text books from the campus bookstore pays. Purchases of textbooks and LBCC clothing and water bottles can be collected each visit. You can use the automated scanner at the bookstore or bring the receipt to the SLC office.

Russell Tripp Performance Center: The performance center, located off of Takena Hall, has a variety of events throughout the term such as plays, concerts, and choir events. Any event attended will qualify you for points.

SLC Events: The SLC coordinates events over the course of the year, many of which are in the courtyard and all of which will qualify you to collect points. Points may vary with the size of the event.

Campus Clubs: Being involved with a club on campus can not only help to get informed and involved with things you enjoy but will also lead to collecting points. At the end of each term, those listed as members of active clubs on campus will automatically receive points.
