Gain Experience and Earn Bonus Points in your Business and Tourism classes.

The Learning Passport Program runs from September 16th to November 26th.

The Learning Passport (LP) Program was introduced in 2009 to encourage Business and Tourism students to participate in learning experiences beyond the classroom. While the program has evolved over the years, its focus remains the same: supporting real-world learning, professional growth, and student engagement. An added benefit of participating in LP activities is the opportunity to earn bonus points while you learn.
