WHEREAS, One home football game is designated the Senior Game each year by the athletic department; and,

WHEREAS, these games are used as an opportunity to honor individuals for their dedication and excellence as NCSU students as well as their participation in intercollegiate athletics; and,

ENACTED, by the North Carolina State University Student Senate that: Current senior students by credit hours will have the opportunity to claim a ticket to the Senior Football Game prior to the ticket system lottery for general student population. 20% of the total student ticket allotment will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis to seniors prior to the general student ticket request period. These tickets will be drawn from the student non-block seating allotment. Any tickets not claimed by seniors will be returned to the general student ticket allotment; and,

Section 1. Student Body Statutes §9-2.2 shall be amended by inserting:

(f). Exceptions:
Certain games will not follow this policy due the extenuating circumstances. These games will be identified by the Campus Community Committee and the Athletics Department, upon approval by the senate. The guidelines for these games will be posted at least two weeks prior to the game via tickets.ncsu.edu.

(g) Senior Game Tickets:

Current senior students by credit hours will have the opportunity to claim a ticket to the Senior Football Game prior to the ticket system lottery for general student population each year. 20% of the total student ticket allotment for this game will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis to seniors prior to the general student ticket request period. These tickets will be drawn proportionally from both the non-block seating allotment and the block seating allotment. Any tickets not claimed by seniors will be returned to the general student ticket allotment. A running list will be kept for seniors who take advantage of this ticket allotment. Those seniors who receive a ticket will not be eligible for the normal student ticket distribution for that Senior Game. Also, students who have senior status for more than one year are only allowed to claim a ticket through this system once, and will not be eligible in following years for the senior ticket allotment for the Senior Game once they have taken advantage of this system. This running list of seniors claiming tickets under this system will be maintained by the Campus Community Committee.

Section 2. This act shall be effective upon its enrollment.
