Please Note: Accumulation of priority points begin July 1st of the year an individual/corporation becomes a full season ticket holder. For example, John became a new season ticket holder for the 1998-99 season. John's points will be awarded for gifts to the University from July 1, 1998 to present. Gifts prior to July 1, 1998 do not count towards John's priority points.

Season ticket holders must maintain full season ticket holder status in order to maintain their points. If a season ticket holder drops their seats and then renews at a later date, the priority points will reset using the new start date. For example, Mary was a season ticket holder from 1981 to 1996. She dropped her season tickets in 1996 and then decided to renew in 2005. Mary's priority points are calculated using the 2005 start date. In addition, donations she made in the past will not count towards her points, her donations will start accruing with the new 2005 start date.
