StudentCPT Tier System

Ethics Matters

Q3 2024

Since its inception, the Student Center for the Public Trust (StudentCPT) programming model has focused heavily on Chapter Performance Levels where StudentCPT Chapters were classified into three levels: Developing Chapters, Star Chapters and Golden Star Chapters. The primary goal of the performance levels was for all chapters to progress through each level, while meeting varied expectations and receiving recognition annually, with the ultimate goal of achieving Golden Star Status.   

In an effort to broaden the organization’s collegiate reach, the NASBA Center for the Public Trust (CPT) is excited to announce the fall 2024 launch of a new programming model – StudentCPT Tiers. Under the tier model, StudentCPT programming will be made available to new and existing StudentCPT Chapters as well as to partnering institutions that desire to benefit from the CPT’s programs and resources on varying levels. 

StudentCPT Tiers are as follows: 

Pioneer– One major StudentCPT program is utilized 

Champion – Two major StudentCPT programs are utilized 

Ambassador – Has a StudentCPT chapter on campus that engages in meetings, events and Being a Difference Awards Program plus a minimum of one extra major program listed below:
