This will not affect your pathway progress, and we appreciate your work to grow your awareness, understanding, and engagement on campus!

Using SGA DEI Passport for Block Seating Applications?

The SGA DEI Passport (SDP) will account for 11% of your block seating application. Points needed are calculated as:

# of seats you plan on applying for x 1.125 = # of points needed to receive the full %11 on the block seating application

Note: SGA DEI Passport Block Seating is based on organization total, not the names in your application.

During the Asynchronous Training Session, students can choose to have their points contribute to an organization’s total for block seating purposes.

Expect monthly reports from SGA with updated points on the 28th of each month. Reports are sent to the primary organization contact listed on MySource.
