Eligibility and Joining Board FAQ (Not Reaching Requirement, etc.)

UPON BEING INDUCTED, WHAT IF I DO NOT ACHIEVE ACTIVE STATUS? IS MY MEMBERSHIP REVOKED?

A: You are not revoked of your membership because once you pay your fee (starting Fall 2017 the fee will be $80) you will have life-time membership. However, you will have one semester to make up the events or forum credits + the already base needed (1 forum and 2 events per month) to achieve active status. On your Returning Member Application YOU MUST INDICATE in writing on top that you are PROBATIONAL and turn it into the Treasurer. Failure to achieve active status upon being a probational member will not grant you a transcript notation for that semester. (e.g. You don't achieve active status in the Fall, so the Spring semester you are considered a probational member and must achieve active status to be considered in good standing in the upcoming Fall semester of that year.)

WHAT HAPPENS IF I FALL BELOW A 3.0 G.P.A? 

A: You will be considered a "probational member" who will have one semester to bring your G.P.A. back to a minimum of 3.0. Please note that all clubs have their activities occurring during the Spring and Fall semesters, so that means that you technically have Summer & Winter semesters to bring that G.P.A. back up! 

WHAT IF I AM NOT A PART/FULL-TIME STUDENT? CAN I STILL BE A PART OF PTK?

A: As long as you have been inducted, have taken 12 units, and paid the A.S. membership fee then you are good to go regardless of the units you are taking that semester.
