Pilot Project

The pilot phase of the Interstate Passport Initiative was launched in October 2011 and will be completed in September 2013. Twenty-three institutions in five WICHE states—California, Hawaii, North Dakota, Oregon, and Utah— are participating in the pilot. During this phase we have tested out the application process as well as the process for developing the Passport Learning Outcomes and Proficiency Criteria for three lower-division areas (oral communication, written communication, and qualitative literacy).

Pilot State Facilitators oversee the project in each state, working with faculty and administrators at the participating institutions to create the learning outcomes and proficiency criteria, to collect information, and to solicit feedback on all Passport documents and processes. Project staff – the Principal Investigator, Pilot State Coordinator, and Project Manager – coordinate and manage all activities.
