FAQs for Students
What is Olé?
At USD, we believe that life and learning happen everywhere, both within and beyond the classroom. Olé (Our Lived Experience) highlights the most important things we hope you will learn outside the classroom during your time here and beyond. When you engage in activities and opportunities that are linked to these areas, you can make connections between what you're learning as a whole person.
- How do I earn points?
You can search for Olé events using the MySanDiego portal (Torero Life/Events (Olé)) or the MySDMobile app (Events). Please note that in the first phase, the points and event features are only available for iOS.
When you attend these events, swipe in to earn points.
To find events that earn points, please look for the Olé logo under the "Register" button in the portal.
When you hover over the icon in the portal, it tells you how many points you will earn for attending that event.
In the MySDMobile app, you can filter by Olé events.
- How do I use my Olé points?
The Olé points you earn can be used to enter drawings for various opportunities such as coffee with President Harris, a meet and greet with one of the performing artists at a TPB event, priority housing registration, and/or a reserved parking spot for one month.
Check your total point balance and current drawings in the right section of the portal:
Drawings will be held twice per month on the first and 15th of each month in the fall. In the spring, the drawings will be held on the first of each month:
- September 15
- October 1 and 15
- November 1 and 15
- December 1 and 15
- No raffles in January
- February 1
- March 1
- April 1
- May 1
The number of points will vary based on each drawing prize. Enter raffles by midnight before the 1st and 15th of each month to be eligible; your total point balance will be reduced by the number of points it "costs" to enter the drawing for each entry.
