Yes, there are many prizes to be won! Once you submit your passport with at least 20 risks completed to either your Language Professor or to the OLBI front desk (MHN 130), you will be entered into a draw.
To be eligible for the draw, you need to complete at least 20 risks. However, we encourage you to do as many as possible.
No, we trust you! Once you complete a risk you must simply check off the box in the passport.

Certainly! Most risks can be repeated up to three times. If you run out of boxes to check due to repeating a risk several times, then we encourage you to continue taking those risks on your own!
Feel free to pick and choose whichever risks you find appropriate and complete them as you see fit. Remember, not all risks need to be completed and there is no required order in which you need to be undertaking the risks.
Yes, feel free to add any additional risks that you would like to challenge yourself with to your passport! The blank pages at the back of the passport can be used for that purpose.
Once you have completed at least 20 tasks, you can submit your passport either to your ESL or FLS Professor or to the OLBI reception desk (Hamelin Hall, Room 130).
The draw will be held immediately after the passport submission deadline.
Gift cards, event tickets, and more!
Coming soon! The team is currently working on creating a smartphone app that will allow students to use an electronic version of the passport.
Yes, it is encouraged! If you are participating more than once, try to challenge yourself by taking different risks each time.
For every academic session that you participate, you will be able to enter the draw.
You only need to complete one passport per academic session, the same passport will be distributed across all classes.
