Passport Objectives:
The purpose of the Professional Development Passport is to provide guidance for students in career building skills and networking contacts to complement their education. Students will become familiar with professional development, which includes but is not limited to job searching techniques, resume building, interviewing skills, and other career opportunities.

Requirements:
Completion of the Professional Development Passport is a requirement for the BBA, BAcc and BAEcon degrees. It is the student’s responsibility to attend ten required events and four elective events while attending the School of Business Administration. Students also are responsible for obtaining and providing appropriate attendance verification for the required and elective events to the SBA Undergraduate Programs Office. This may be through a scanner, stamp, attendance sheet, or approval by the SBA Undergraduate Programs Office. Request approval for an event or activity by completing the Request for Approval of an Event or Activity form.

Statement on Academic Integrity:
All members of the University community share the responsibility for maintaining an environment of academic integrity since academic dishonesty is a threat to the University. Acts of academic dishonesty include: a) unauthorized assistance on an examination; b) falsification or invention of data; c) unauthorized collaboration on an academic exercise; d) plagiarism; e) misappropriation of resource materials; f) any unauthorized access of an instructor's files or computer account; or g) any other serious violation of academic integrity as established by the instructor.
