The Cal Poly International Center is partnering with CIEE and all Cal Poly colleges to unlock a world of possibilities at the fourth annual Passport Event, happening March 5, 2025! This event is for students, faculty and staff.
Cal Poly students who have never had a passport will have the opportunity to apply for their U.S. passport book and, thanks to the generosity of co-sponsors CIEE and Cal Poly’s six colleges, application fees of $165 will be covered for up to 100 Cal Poly students!
Applicants must meet the following criteria:
- 18 years or older
- U.S. citizen
- First-time passport holder (as an adult, 18 years or older)
- Full-time undergraduate student with at least one year of study left at Cal Poly (through Spring Quarter 2026 or later)
- Preference given to students who are applying for the 2025 CIEE Douglass-O’Connell Summer Global Internship program
Passport applications can only be processed during an in-person appointment with an official passport agent on March 5, 2025, in the ATL Keck Lab.
The deadline for student applications is December 5, 2024. Students must have their application documents in hand no later than February 15, 2025.
