The U-Pass is part of student ancillary fees, therefore fees are automatically added to your student account and are paid along with your tuition fees.

Some sponsored students may opt-in the U-Pass program.  In these cases, the U-Pass fee will be added onto your statement of account.

Starting this fall, the UPASS will be integrated directly onto your student card.

Your uOttawa card is your U-Pass and will work on all OC Transpo and STO trains and buses. Simply tap and hold your uOttawa card on the transit access readers upon boarding. Consult your U-Pass portal to determine if your uOttawa Card is ready to be used.

It’s important to understand when your U-Pass can be used, how much the program costs and knowing when you can submit an opt-in or exemption request.
