What is the Rewards Program?
The Rewards Program aids in determining the quantity and extent of student learning related to co-curricular activities. Using a tiered-points rewards system, that can measure how much students are engaging with VIU’s various on- and off-campus events, as well as be an effective tool for motivating and rewarding the students’ co-curricular engagements.
Integrating rewards could not be easier. The Rewards Program will allow you to:
Incentivize participation in your events and programming.
Offer a clear metric to measure participation and engagement.
Scale the recognition to fit every event, program, or activity offered by your department.
Fully integrate with the Co-Curricular App for ease of use and implementation.
Recognize students for their time.
Continue to grow with VIU.
