strike policy
Members are allowed three strikes for their total time here at USFCA NSA.
Strikes can be given for:
- failing to notify the Community Service Committee 24 hours prior to the event that they cannot attend a community service event
- failing to attend one fundraiser per semester of "active membership"
If a member receives a fourth strike, they can make up a semester of "active membership" to qualify for an NSA cord. Dues paid during the semester of the fourth strike is non-refundable. If the member chooses to make up a semester of "active membership," dues must be paid for the make-up semester.
