points
CCAs and CCA 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 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 event
e.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).
CCAs and CCA Points
Who is responsible for CCA points?
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.

trip (however please read the fine print)

not be subsidised at all.
