.Points are necessary for staying in Shepard after your freshman year. If you made the mistake of not choosing Shepard Residential College, the only way to become one of the sheep is to become a non-resident and to earn points. Points can be earned through participating in firesides and other point-earning Shepard-sponsored events.
Twenty points are necessary by the end of winter quarter for those wishing to stay in Shepard. During the housing draft in the spring, those with the most points will get first pick of rooms, so if you're looking to get that nice single room next year, try to amass as many points as you can!
For questions regarding the point system, please contact Max.
Here is the current point-earning system*:
General Shepard Events (such as Munchies, Game Nights, or Watch Parties) - 1 point
Jakob’s Office Hours - 1 point
Fellows Lunch - 1 point
RCB Events - 1 point
Student Firesides (including Rapid-Fire Firesides) - 1 point
Faculty Firesides - 2 points
Presenting a Rapid-Fire Fireside - 2 points
Organizing a Fireside - 3 points
Joining Leadership - 5 points/Quarter
If you have concerns about your ability to earn points during fall please let us know and we will try to accommodate.
