How to Participate in the AA Passport Office?
Step 1: Pick up your Academic Affairs (AA) Passport at the Academic Resource Center (ARC) front desk at W523 if you don't have one.
Step 2: Sign up for academic events held by the Academic Affairs (AA) department and its partner offices on Engage. Participating in any event featuring the office logo qualifies as an event associated with this office, enabling you to earn a passport sticker.
Step 3: Participate in the events and earn stickers for your passport.
Step 4: Once you have collected a certain number (or category) of stickers, according to the rule below, you can redeem a prize from the ARC. Please read the prize redemption rule below.
What is the Prize Redemption Rule for Fall 2024?
You are strongly encouraged to engage in events organized by the Academic Affairs offices, including Academic Resource Center (ARC), Academic Advising, Community Engaged Learning (CEL), Global Awards & Fellowship, and Academic Operations (Textbook | Undergraduate Research Symposium), as well as our partner offices (Library and GPS). Each office provides a unique category of stickers, and you can earn a sticker from a specific category by actively participating in an event hosted by the respective office. For example, attending an ARC workshop allows you to earn an ARC sticker.
Check the AA passport Engage webpage to sign up for upcoming events eligible for sticker collection.
On the last working day of each month (see specific dates below), starting from September to November 2024, students who have earned at least a total of 5 stickers from any office or 3 stickers from different offices are eligible to redeem a prize at the ARC front desk between 9am-5pm.
Prize Redemption Dates:
- Friday, September 27
- Thursday, October 31
- Friday, November 29
At the beginning of each month, all sticker counts will be reset to zero. To redeem a prize for the respective month, you must earn at least a total of 5 stickers from any office or 3 stickers from different offices again.
By the end of November, students who have accumulated a total of 20 stickers from 5 out of 7 academic offices across the entire semester will have the opportunity to enter a lucky draw for the grand prize. Students who have redeemed the monthly prizes are still eligible to participate in the final grand prize lucky draw.
