Attendance at monthly meetings (3 per semester) = 20 points/meeting
Participation in service, social, and pre-health events = 10 points/ event
What does 100 points look like?
There are multiple ways to reach the minimum point requirement, but as an example…
Monthly meeting attendance (3) = total of 60 points
Service and social events (4) = total of 40 points
100 points

8. Pre-health events now qualify for points through AED.
POINT SYSTEM
Pre-health events now qualify for points through AED.
Qualifying events must be hosted by:
Pre-Professional Health Advising office (Karen Eippert) at the College of Charleston
Pre-Health Peer Mentors - group advising sessions are accepted
Any events (conferences, etc.) advertised in the “other events” section at AED meetings
In order to receive points fill out the Pre-Health Event Attendance Form which is posted on the blog and turn it in at the next AED meeting or during AED office hours.
The form will require a signature from the presenter at the event

9. POINT SYSTEM
How does this help me?
No missed meeting excuses are required. If you miss a monthly meeting at some point during the semester, no need to request an excuse. You make up the missed 20 points by attending an additional 2 service, social, or pre-health events during the semester.
Exceptions?
If you lead SI sessions on Mondays at 7PM or you have a scheduled class at 7PM on Mondays, the account to be excused from meetings for the semester.
Do I have to do anything differently in order to remain an active member?
Nope! We are implementing the point system in order to make it easier for members to reach requirements each semester. Attendance at all 3 monthly meetings and participation in 2 service and 2 social events earns you 100 points. Sign in will still be required for all events.
