Without investing in any courses at all, students will still increase their expectations in Two Point Campus regularly. They will every year or so, ask for another teacher, more facilities, and better resources. This is how the game naturally progresses.
But this progression is quite slow. Even an amateur gamer, who doesn't upgrade the courses, will find themselves both bored and struggling to make enough cash. For those who truly want to master Two Point Campus, they'll certainly want to upgrade courses at most opportunities.
Earning Course Points
Upgrading courses requires a special kind of currency, called Course Points. As with Kudosh and regular money, it's gold in color. Thankfully, instead of getting in confused with the rest, this currency is tracked on a separate screen.
The tracker in the lower-lefthand corner measures bars until the next influx of Course Points. It will increase on its own, but to make it increase faster for more course points, add rooms, make rooms bigger, and increase the staff and student size. This is a factor to consider when expelling a student; one here and there is fine, but don't slow down progress by kicking out too many.
Upgrading Courses
Upgrading courses can only take effect at the end of the year, so there is no reason to worry about sitting on too many Course Points until this time. When that time comes, there will be a prompt at the top of the screen. PC players can click "Course Management" while console gamers will hit up on the D-Pad. If the anticipation is too much, speed up time until reaching the end of the year.
If players already know what they want to upgrade, this screen is indeed available before the end of the year, just keep in mind that the effects are delayed until the next school year. On the lower lefthand side, there is a button for course management. Console players can navigate there by hitting X on the Xbox controller or square on the PlayStation, and then the right bumper.
Two Point Campus is available now for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
