UTM Walks Passport

Walks Passport

The UTM Walks Passport is a year-round physical activity campaign featuring weekly guided nature walks along UTM’s scenic trails, co-hosted with campus and community partners. These walks promote physical activity, mindfulness, and meaningful connections.

 

This activity is eligible for Co-Curricular Record (CCR) recognition for UTM students.

CCR Instructions:

  1. Pick up your UTM Walks Passport at the RAWC Welcome Desk.
  2. Participate in a minimum of four (4) walks anytime during the year. Refer to the UTM Walks schedule for scheduling details.
  3. Complete a short self-guided reflection on your wellness goals and next steps.
  4. Drop off your completed UTM Walks Passport at the RAWC Welcome Desk. Once verified and approved, you should be able to view your CCR record in early summer after the end of the academic year on Folio.
