- A-T Points & Recognition
The priority point system was implemented in 1987. It is intended to promote fairness, create new solicitation opportunities, benefit the entire Institute, reward the loyalty of our longtime supporters, and accommodate individual circumstances. A-T priority points reward gift amounts and long-term support in the distribution of tickets, seating, parking, and access to away games and post-season tournaments. Priority point earnings begin following an initial gift to any area of GT athletics.

*Consecutive refers to continuous years of making a gift and/or purchasing season tickets. The calculation for consecutive year points begins with the most recent year and counts backwards. Missed years will result in a loss of consecutive status and points earned.
Why are A-T priority points important?
Football and men’s basketball season ticket relocation requests, season parking requests, football away game and postseason tickets, and men’s basketball ACC Tournament and NCAA tournament tickets are all allocated in A-T priority point order. Every point counts!

What happens to A-T points upon death?
Upon an A-T member’s death, all giving history and points will be transferred into the surviving spouse’s name, if applicable.
Can I transfer my A-T points to someone else?
When making a gift, you can choose to name someone else to receive the point benefit of the gift rather than yourself. Accumulated points cannot be transferred to someone else unless you are a Golden Life Member or higher.
What about students and young alumni?
For a total of ten years including five years of undergrad as a student and the first five years after graduation, members will receive accelerated priority points and enjoy all benefits at the Member Level of the Annual Giving Program. See details
