Toro Tuesday Policy

Purpose

On January 17, 2002, the ASI Senate approved the Toro Tuesday Resolution to recognize Tuesdays during the academic year as “TORO TUESDAYS.” TORO TUESDAYS will serve as the official day to wear California State University, Dominguez Hills Gear (or also known as Toro Gear). Dominguez Hills Gear or Toro Gear will consist of:

  • University distinguished colored Burgundy and Gold paraphernalia with the CSU, Dominguez Hills name.
  • Another colored paraphernalia with the CSU Dominguez Hills name. For example, a shirt from Associated Students Inc.
  • Any number of similar items being worn will count for one opportunity drawing ticket. For instance, 3 different key chains will merit one opportunity drawing ticket.
  • Items with the original intent to wear will be counted, not items intended for other use such as pens and pencils.
  • Inappropriate placement of items or inappropriate exposure will result in disqualification and not being able to participate in future Associated Students Inc. programs for the duration of the school year.

Policy

To promote the Toro Tuesday Resolution, Associated Students, Inc. initiated the Toro Tuesday Weekly drawings and the Toro Tuesday Grand Finale. Students can enter the weekly drawing every Tuesday by wearing school paraphernalia and providing their information on the Toro Tuesday weekly sign-up sheet at the ASI office. The winner of the weekly drawings will win a prize and be entered in the Toro Tuesday Grand Finale drawing at the end of the semester. The winner of the Toro Tuesday Grand Finale will receive the respective scholarship*. Each unique scholarship will have its own timeline for pickup. Winners will be notified when the respective scholarships are able to be picked up.

Eligibility Criteria / Student Requirements

Students who are participating must have an active account with the University in order to receive the scholarship. Students who do not have an account with the University working towards a degree will be ineligible to receive the scholarship that is processed through the student account. As such, the participant who is chosen as a winner must be an

enrolled student at California State University, Dominguez Hills the following semester. ASI highly recommends that all students should first consult with the Financial Aid office about eligibility before participating.

Students must be at least enrolled part-time during the Fall or Spring semester, with the exception of a student who is registered with the Student disability Resource Center (SdRC).

Students that are graduating during the current semester will be ineligible for the scholarship that is processed through their student account. The scholarship that is processed through their student account is applicable if they are re-enrolling for another qualifying program within the University or have loans/debt that is affiliated with California State University, Dominguez Hills.

To receive the scholarship, the student must have an active student account in the following semester with Financial Aid to successfully process the scholarship.
