Recbucks

Rec Sports Association (RSA) and RecBucks

What is Rec Sports Association?

Rec Sports Association (RSA) is a student organization open to all student employees of the TTU Department of Recreational Sports. This student organization hosts community service events, fundraisers, and socials! Please join our organization on OrgSync to get all the updates, see the calendar of events, and to have access to the RecBuck Program.

What are Rec Bucks?

RecBucks is a student staff appreciation program that has partnered with RSA to promote both entities. It has been developed to recognize students that go above and beyond their daily job responsibilities. This program is only available for student staff members employed by the Department of Recreational Sports at Texas Tech. Rec Bucks can be spent on Rec Sports swag that you can use and wear inside and outside of the Rec. Without our students, we wouldn't be able to do all the amazing things we do here in support of the TTU community, so we want to do more to appreciate you all!

How do I earn Rec Bucks?

How do we keep track of RecBucks?

Each time a student does something or attends an event that is eligible to earn RecBucks, a student will need to submit a Earned RecBucks Form. Or email us at recbucks@ttu.edu.

As you can tell, there are ways for other students and professionals to give RecBucks to other students via Staff Props. If this is the case, the person giving the staff props will need to submit a Earned RecBucks Form for the person receiving them. This is the same for Professional Staff members giving RecBucks for students that go above and beyond their job responsibilities. The Professional Staff member giving the RecBucks will need to complete this form.

We will keep a running total for each student based on these submissions. If a Earned RecBucks form is not submitted, we will not count it with your total points. Each semester, there will be a "RecBuck Deadline" for submissions in that term that is the Sunday of the weekend of Graduation for that term. 

How can I spend my RecBucks?

In order to spend your RecBucks, students just need to earn them. As you accrue the RecBucks, you will be provided with the merchandise that you have earned by a Rec Sports Professional when you earn enough to get an item.

RecBucks roll over from semester to semester as long as the student is employed by Rec Sports. Points cannot be traded or transferred from one student to another. If a student graduates and still has RecBucks on an account, they will no longer be valid.

If you have any questions, please email tturecsports@ttu.edu
