Official Rules - Students Ongoing Point Accumulation

Consecutive Enrollment - Students will receive bonus points for consecutive monthly study in each subject after June 21, 2000. These points can be earned in any 12-month period as follows.

Consecutive Months Enrolled from Enrollment Date Bonus Points
6 months 2
12 months 5

Students whose absent time equals one month or more will forfeit any time previously accumulated necessary to earn bonus points in this consecutive enrollment category. An incoming transfer student (IT) must transfer to a new center in the same month that they were an outgoing transfer (OT) from the previous center to maintain consecutive enrollment.

Example: Johnny enrolls for 8 consecutive months, is absent in the 9th month, and then returns in the 10th month. Johnny forfeits the 8 consecutive months earned for the purpose of reaching the 12-consecutive month mark. Johnny's consecutive enrollment streak, therefore, is reset again in the 10th month.

Point values reached for consecutive enrollment are not cumulative. Therefore, Johnny will be credited 5 points for each subject at the 12-month enrollment mark. (Johnny would have already been credited 2 points at 6 consecutive months.)

Each existing student will fall into exactly one category for each subject and the points will be calculated based upon the student's length of enrollment at the time of the Cosmic Club's start date of June 21, 2000 and may be earned only once.

Monthly Enrollment - Students will receive 1 point every month for each subject enrolled.

New Student - Maximum Points Earned During Initial 12-Month Period Points
First-time enrollment 2
1 Point per month (1 x 12) 12
6 Consecutive Months of Enrollment 2
12 Consecutive Months of Enrollment 5
Total 21

Existing students can receive up to 22, 24 or 29 points for the first 12 months (June 21, 2000 - June 20, 2001) depending on their bonus point level. For any 12 consecutive month period starting after July 21, 2000, 19 is the maximum point total that can be earned for enrollment (including consecutive enrollment bonus points).

Starting in January 2011, students will be allowed a period of absence not to exceed one month per calendar year. Students reported as absent for more than one month in a given calendar year will be considered un-enrolled students, and a registration fee will be assessed when re-enrolling. Also, such students will forfeit any accumulated Cosmic Club points and start with a zero balance should they re-enroll. (Note: Multi-Subject Students remaining enrolled in at least one subject will not be affected by this policy. However, a multi-subject student would be considered un-enrolled if he or she had already previously been reported as absent in each subject earlier in the year, and subsequently was un-enrolled from both subjects in the same month.)
