Fall Term U-Pass
U-Pass for the Fall Term will be assessed to students attending on-campus classes. Undergraduate Students taking only online (remote) delivery of Fall Term courses will not be assessed the U-Pass fee
Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, Place Riel will remain closed to the general public. This means U-Pass must be distributed differently for Fall 2020.
Any student enrolled in anything at all on campus will be assessed the U-Pass fee. Unless otherwise notified, new student cards, already activated, will be distributed through your college. Please do not use the appointment calendar for students opting in unless otherwise directed. If you do not receive your card through your college, please email contactus@ussu.ca
