Earning points and badges

Earning points provides KU Business undergraduate students with additional opportunities for involvement through a variety of events, certifications and workshops.

This increased student involvement expands students’ foundational knowledge, elevates resumes, and gives Business Jayhawks a competitive edge in the job market.

Students can use the search bar under the activities tab. If the student is not searching for a particular event or certification, the student can filter using competencies, experience tags or levels. Students can select more than one filter at a time, further narrowing down a search.

Students can find current point standings under the scorecard tab, under total experience.

Additionally, in the scorecard tab, students can find their achievements, the progress they have made on each competency, their badge progress and activities they have uploaded for points.

Students who transfer into the School of Business during their junior year or after from an external institution or another major (defined as having 60+ transfer credit hours) are only required to earn 100 qualifying points, rather than the full 200 (though they must still complete the course requirements and required internship).

If this applies to you, look for the Junior/Senior Transfer Waiver activity in Suitable to automatically be awarded 100 qualifying points. This will mean that you only have to earn 100 more to meet the requirement for BUS 410 and graduation.

Submissions for the Junior/Senior Transfer Waiver activity will be checked against advising records, and you may be contacted for further verification.

Students admitted into School of Business sophomore year or later

This waiver does not apply to KU students who were admitted into the School of Business later because of an outstanding prerequisite, a low GPA, or being pre-business — only to those who directly come from another major or institution.

If this describes your situation, you must complete 200 qualifying points by the end of your junior year in order to enroll in BUS 410.

Students must earn the Lift Badge (200 qualifying points) by the end of their junior year in order to enroll in BUS 410.
