Any WVC student who has completed at least 12 units of credit and has a cumulative 3.0 or high grade point average may join! Incoming Freshman from high school may join as a temporary member if they graduated High School with at least a 3.5 grade point average or is a permanent member of CFS.

My grades used to stink, but lately my semester grades have been great. Am I able to join?

Very likely! Alpha Gamma Sigma has a policy of not having grades from more than 2 years ago be able to disqualify a student from joining. Check with an Advisor and with the State AGS By-Laws for details.

When and where does the club meet?

We meet in each Wednesday from 3:30pm to 4:30pm in the Viking Den (located near the Viking Book Store). Please check the online calendar for more specific information.

I can't meet on Wednesdays because I have a class or a job that conflicts with that time. Can I still join?

Yes! Many members are unable to come to the meetings and still fulfill their “points” requirement to get transcript credit each semester. In some cases, the student may qualify for a points exemption in which case they may need to earn as few as 15 points to get transcript credit!

Students must be sure to get their application in on time (usually within the first 3 weeks of each semester) to one of the Advisors and keep in touch via the the website for opportunities to earn your points towards transcript credit! Check the online calendar for this due date! No late applications will be accepted.

How do I get transcript credit for being a member of Alpha Gamma Sigma?

The student must maintain a 3.0 grade point average and fulfill the 30 “points” requirement per semester by the due date. In addition, the student must be enrolled and complete at least 6 units each semester they wish to get transcript credit.

What are Points? How do I earn them?

Members earn points in three different categories of participation in the club: General Points, Community Service Points and Fundraising Points. Start earning points early in the semester and it is generally thought as very easy to get all 30 points completed by the due date. Please see the Points FAQ for a full explanation!

What are Points Exemptions. How do I qualify?

Point Exemptions are reductions in the total amount of points needed to be accumulated in order to get transcript credit. Some students may qualify for as few as 15 points needed! Please see the Points FAQ for a full explanation!

When is the “due date” for all Points? Why are they due earlier than the last meeting of the semester?

Check the calendar each semester for the due date! It is usually several weeks before finals/dead week and always before the last club meeting of the year. The reasoning is that the points need to be submitted to the state organization and this date is not in our control. Remember, start earning points during the first few weeks of the semester and there should be no problem completing them!

My latest points are not showing up online! Now what?

If you have submitted points to the Points Secretary personally (ie: via email or by hand), the points should be updated within 3 working days. However, if points have been earned from a group activity that is being overseen by an Officer or Coordinator (ie: someone keeping track of Valentine-Grams hours for a large group of volunteers), the points can not be updated until the entire group of points has been collated and submitted to the Points Secretary! Contact the Officer of Coordinator in charge of the volunteer project to see if the group of points has been submitted.
