How To Earn Points

Many college activities and programs are participating in the Hostos Reward Points Program. Each time a student participates in one of these activities they earn points. The first time you complete one of these activities and click on the submit button, a Reward Points Account is automatically opened in your name. From then on, each time you complete an activity and click on submit, the points will go into your account. You can check your account at any time to ensure that your points are going into your account by going to the ILC Web site and clicking on Hostos Reward Points Program.

Activities that earn points may vary each year, but will start in Spring 2008 with two primary programs: Online Student Feedback Evaluation and the GenEd Mapping Tool .

By fall 2008 additional point-generating activities will include library and technology workshops and the Library, HALC and Academic Computing Center student satisfaction surveys. Point values for each activity are listed below:
