Toggle ItemQ: I completed some of these traditions before signing up for Traditions Keeper. Can they count toward my rewards?

Toggle ItemQ: Can I count a tradition more than once if I do it multiple times?

Toggle ItemQ: How will I know when I've earned a reward, and how do I claim it?
A: There's currently no way to view your completed traditions on the website, so we'd encourage you to keep track of them yourself for now. We hope to add a tracking system in the future, and we'll soon be providing a downloadable PDF you can use to track your progress. Once you've earned a reward, you'll receive an email with instructions on when and where to pick it up. Rewards are picked up at the Hinckley Center on the first and third Monday of each month from 2-5 PM.
-
Toggle ItemQ: Is there a deadline for completing traditions or claiming rewards?
A: There's no fixed calendar deadline, you have until you graduate to complete traditions and claim your rewards.
-
Toggle ItemQ: Can alumni participate, or is this only for current students?
A: Traditions Keeper is currently for current students. We're hoping to develop a version for alumni to participate in as well, so stay tuned.

Toggle ItemQ: Who do I contact if I have trouble logging my participation?
A: You can reach out to traditions.byu.edu with any concerns. Note that you'll need to log in through the BYU CAS system to participate and report completed traditions.
