Loyalty Program

•        The Loyalty Program (LP) offers points to students for classes or seminars taken within one calendar year at the Austin Computer Learning Center .   Points expire at the end of the calendar year.

•        The ACLC Registrar tracks LP points.  After 100 points have been accrued, the Registrar will inform the student via email that a $25 credit has been earned. 

•        Earning Loyalty Program Points

-         Students receive one point for each dollar paid as long as the class or seminar fee is $25 or more, and fee is paid in full.

-         ACLC curriculum offerings with a fee less than $25 will not earn LP points.

•        Using Loyalty Program Credits

-         Students should plan to use their LP credits within the calendar year.

-         LP credits can be used for ACLC classes or seminars with a minimum fee of $25.

-         When using LP credits, students do not earn points for the class or seminar, even if there is money required to make up the difference. For example, if a student registers in a $60 class, uses the $25 LP credit, and pays $35, ACLC will not offer LP points for the difference.

-         LP credits cannot be used to pay for Club fees, and payment for club fees will not accrue LP points.

•        ACLC reserves the right to discontinue this program at ACLC’s discretion.
