Our Point System
Our Point System works to award members with an official Psychological Society cord and stole in their senior year, to help Executive Board Officials determine next years Officers, and to encourage participation through specialty awards. After achieving 25 of these points, all seniors (by credit hours) can earn a Cord for free. After becoming a paid member, you can record your achievements as shown on the Point Tracker Sheet. These are downloadable by clicking on the "Forms" menu at the top of this screen. Point sheets are turned in at the end of the semester and are reviewed by Executive Board Officers.
