Abstract

It is well established that college students need not only to learn subjects but also extracurricular activities. Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), in Oman, provides extracurricular activities for students in addition to academic activities. However, the administration noted that students were hesitant to join extracurricular activities. SQU developed a new system dubbed "1000" points in 2020 to increase student involvement. The goal of the current study is to define the 1000-point initiatives. To achieve the study goals, a survey was utilized to collect data and content analysis. SQU generally has 25 student organizations. Also, according to the report, the 1000-point program was created to motivate SQU students to join in extracurricular activities by tracking their involvement and classifying it into four categories. In order to increase students' awareness of the system and its use, the system has to be made mandatory.
