Submit a Business Passport Event

• The event or activity must be sanctioned by NIU or the College of Business.
• Someone must be able to take attendance and submit verification (names and Z-IDs) of attendees.
• The event or activity must be related to one of the continents.
• Activities in courses required for a degree program are not eligible.

We ask that each event or activity only count for one continent.

View passport events to see what constitutes an event or activity for each of the seven continents. We rely on faculty, staff and student organizations to determine the best fit for their events.

1. After completing the event request form, an automatic email is sent to your designated advisor for approval.
2. The advisor approves the event to passport by responding to the email.
3. Passport adds the event.

With the passport software, we are able to add special instructions to each individual activity (for example, **for PSAB members only**).

There is no hard and fast time requirement. Some events and activities take place over a semester, while others involve a 60-minute presentation. It is expected that a meaningful presentation will take approximately 60 minutes.

• QR code: Passport can provide you with a QR code to display to students that fully participate in your activity. Attendance is automatically taken.
• Excel: Provide a list of student names and Z-IDs to businesspassport@niu.edu.
• Reflection: You can require students to write a reflection of your activity.
