Each student must complete the Cultural Life Program to graduate. There will be no substitutions or alternatives. Each student must accrue a total number of CLP events attended based on the number of regular terms enrolled at Furman.

Beginning August 31, 2008, the CLP requirement is 4 CLP events each semester students are enrolled, not to exceed 32 events regardless of when they started or how long it takes them to complete their studies. In other words: 32 CLP events are required to graduate, unless you attend Furman for fewer than eight semesters, in which case it is 4 less per semester. 8 events per class year are required to advance your registration priority. For example, a freshman must have 8 CLPs in addition to 32 course credits to register as a sophomore, a sophomore needs 16 to register as a junior, etc.

Students studying away from campus on travel study or with a Furman affiliate program will be awarded credit for attendance at 4 CLP events for each semester they cannot attend events here on campus. Students who transfer in, graduate early or spend time in off-campus programs are also given adjustments to their CLP count prior to graduation.

Approved CLP events are announced weekly. To receive credit for a CLP event, students must present a valid photo ID and sign their name and Furman ID number on the designated sign-in sheet as they enter an event. They also receive a ticket which they should fill out and turn in at the end of the event. Completion of all these steps is required to earn CLP credit. CLP credits are typically entered in the computer within 7-10 business days of the event taking place. Students can confirm their CLP record though ARMS using the "cultural life program (CLP) attendance" link.

STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO REVIEW THEIR CLP STATUS EACH TERM.
