CCAs and CCA PointsCCAs and CCA PointsThe CCA Points systemhttp://www.np.edu.sg/sdar/pearls/Pages/default.aspxhttp://lsctlevel4.wordpress.com/2009/06/22/lecturers-and-students-guide-to-cca-points-for-lsct/

Points are given for P – ParticipationE - EnrichmentA – AchievementR – RepresentationL - LeadershipS – Service

To get e.g. a bronze certificate of achievement – total 36 points, 12 ARLS points

Some Pointers

•Make use of this opportunity to enrich your student life by joining clubs and groups in LSCT and NP.

•Take part in activities because you like them not because you need to accumulate points.

•Do not spread yourself too thin by joining too many clubs.

if you really want to strategise…

CCAs and CCA PointsCCAs and CCA Points

Year 1 – participate in club (club membership only 2 P points)Year 2 – try to e.g. get into exco or organise events (L points)

join YEP, community service (S points) represent NP in event (R points – a bit more difficult)

Year 3 – handover to year 2’s, spend a bit more time on studies

Spread out work because points are given for one role per evente.g. if you are MC, usher, stage crew for a performance – still only credited for one role.

Points are given for responsibility held or degree of representation. Points are not given for number of hours spent in preparation or work (except for community service).

Club events – respective clubs

LSCT events – Dr Koh Tse Yuen

Events outside NP – in general we will not credit any activities not conducted by NP e.g. volunteer for NDP. If you do want to be credited, please see Dr Koh before the event.

CCA points are typically keyed in every half-semester . Please check your own records and alert lecturer in charge of event if discrepancies.
