RULES AND DEGREES

  1. At the event, you will receive a stamp for a drink (including non-alcoholic) or food.

2. You can get one stamp for food and one stamp for a drink from each location, so a maximum of two stamps per location.

3. Degrees must be completed in order, and you can only complete one degree with a single pass!

Example: If you want to achieve the Laudatur degree immediately and you don't have any previous degree badge, you will need a total of 3 passes. You must collect the required number of stamps for each degree on each pass.

  1. 6 stamps on the 1st pass for the Approbatur degree

  2. 8 stamps on the 2nd pass for the Cum Laude degree

  3. 10 stamps on the 3rd pass for the Laudatur degree.

    Once you have collected the correct number of stamps on all three passes, you will receive the degree badges for each pass.

Example: If you already have the Laudatur degree and want to complete the next two degrees at once (Tohtori and Emeritus degrees), you will need a total of 2 passes.

  1. 12 stamps on the 1st pass for the Tohtori degree

  2. 13 stamps on the 2nd pass for the Emeritus degree.

Once you have collected the correct number of stamps on both passes, you will receive the degree badges for each pass.

4. The previous degree badge must be presented at the degree badge distribution point if you wish to receive a higher degree badge. If you do not have the previous degree badge with you, you will receive an Approbatur badge.

5. At Kalevankadun Approt, only the degree badges specific to Kalevankadun Approt are accepted.
