Interstate Passport
This example of a Passport Block was developed by faculty at Concordia University St. Paul. This member profile was developed as an example of how learning outcome-based transfer can be mapped onto a general education curriculum. The Interstate Passport program sunset at the end of 2023, and each member institution has different policies regarding their ongoing transfer relationships. The publication of their Passport Block is a part of the evergreen resources managed by WICHE to serve as an example and should not indicate any current or ongoing transfer relationships. For more information about transfer at Concordia University St. Paul please see their website at https://www.csp.edu/student-services/registrar-records-and-registration/interstate-passport/.
