Membership Terms
Once institutions have taken the steps to define their Passport Block, they can apply sign up for Passport status leading to membership in the Interstate Passport® Network.
Becoming a member requires that institutions agree to all of the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), which has a five-year renewable term for institutions in good standing. Participating institutions, systems, and states agree to define each institution’s Passport Block and, through its registrar, to award the Passport to students who achieve it, notate the Passport on the student record, recognize incoming Passport students as having met their lower-division general education requirements, and participate in the academic progress tracking process.

System-wide contracts receive a 10 percent discount on the total cost for all institutions in the system when making a single payment.
