Priority Points
The UCATS Priority Points System is designed to ensure proper consideration for UCATS members who have shown loyalty over the years; been giving of their time; and provide financial contributions for the betterment of our student-athletes. The purpose of the Priority Points System is to appropriately distribute benefits. It provides a framework for seat assignments (including away games), parking, seat improvements and other special athletics events or activities.
