FAQ's

No, you only need to scan the code once to earn your points!

The Co-Curricular Involvement App is connected to your location data. If your location data sharing is turned off, or you are located outside of the area where the event is taking place, the scan will not work.

On the Co-Curricular Involvement App, under the Resources tab is a form called “Didn’t receive points?”, simply fill out this form and the App Team will follow up.

To see how many points you have, from the Home Tab, click the menu in the top left corner and then scroll to click Points from the menu options to see your total!

As you earn points, you will earn levels and receive prizes. You can add each level to your Co-Curricular Record to show your learning progress. You can check out the OCCEL webpage for more information. Here is the link for more information: https://services.viu.ca/office-co-curricular-engagement-and-learning/co-curricular-app

Events have to have a demonstrable link to VIU’s Graduate Attributes, which makes it qualify for the Rewards Program. You can learn more about VIU’s Graduate Attributes here: https://services.viu.ca/co-curricular-record/graduate-attributes
