The Basics

Our CircleIn rewards & contests provide students with incentivized ways of studying with their peers on CircleIn. Specific study actions completed on CircleIn provide points students can earn and track in their Leaderboard. Each of our contests reward students based on their effort, skill, and merit in their performance on our platform.

In order to be eligible for our contests, you must abide by the following rules:

1. Complete designated, eligible action(s) as outlined in contest 
   • • • • See full points breakdown and eligible study actions here
2. Complete said action(s) within the designated time range or by the specified end date for that contest
3. Action(s) must comply with the CircleIn Community Guidelines, otherwise the user will risk disqualification. Please see full Community Guidelines here
4. Top earners have an increased chance of winning for contests that are not randomized or raffle based. For these contests, all participants will be put in order of who has completed the most contest related actions. This will determine who will be selected as winners. For all other contests, participants can and will be selected as winners at random or raffle based.

Our verification system will go through and validate the content of your action(s) after the contest duration ends. Selected winners are notified by email.
