LIC Points
Leadership Initiative Credit (LIC) are extra credit points given to nursing students for involvement in bettering the mind, body, and spirit of the community.

more involvement and responsibility in SNA. **In our Bylaws, you can find how many points you
get for different positions. (Article XIV. Section 1d.)
LIC points cont’d LIC forms are due at 5:00pm on December 1st
There will be NO LIC forms accepted after this deadline for any reason
LIC points are calculated by HPP (hours per point) Non-SNA members- 3 HPP General Members- 2HPP Delegate- 1.5 HPP Board Member- 1 HPP
The amount of hours volunteered will be divided by your HPP. Ex: 10 hours volunteered by a general member will give that member 5 LIC points.
