Participate in the Fall FYE Rewards Program!<\/h2>\n

These events are meant to help our newest CAS\u00a0undergraduates, both first-years and transfer students, transition into the intellectual, social, and cultural community of Boston University. The more events you attend, the more rewards you are eligible to receive. All students are welcome to attend, however the rewards program is limited to Fall first semester CAS students, Fall first semester CAS transfer students, and Fall FY101 students.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

How can I get the prizes?<\/strong> When you attend an event, attendance will be tracked, either via a check in through a QR code or someone will take your BU ID number. You will receive an email when you qualify for a prize (at 2, 3, or 4 events). When you are notified, you can pick up prizes at 100 Bay State Road, room 423 until the end of the semester!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Only students who are new fall 2026 students in CAS (first years and transfers) are eligible for prizes.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
