• Before you pick-up a uOttawa card that was ordered online, please wait to receive the email letting you know that your uOttawa card was printed and is ready to be picked up.
• From August 19, 2024, to September 20, 2024 
  Consult the Fall 2024 student card distribution for dates and hours of the student card distribution. 

We strongly recommends that all incoming students submit their photo online. Just make sure that the photo meets the photo requirements. Once your card has been printed, you will receive an email to let you know that your card is ready to be picked up. Your card can be picked up during the dates, time and location in the table below:

As of Monday, September 23, uOttawa card is at the Assignment and uOttawa Card Service (90 University Private, room 145). You will need to enter the virtual line through the QLESS. 

Starting this fall, your uOttawa Card is your U-Pass!

What you need to know prior to using your student card as your U-Pass:

• Make sure you’ve been charged for the U-Pass.
• If you obtained your student card before May 2024, you most likely need to get the U-Pass added to your student card.
• If you received an email informing you that you need to add the U-Pass to your student card, and you have not yet done so, you need to get the U-Pass added to your student card in person – see the tab above titled “Fall 2024 student uOttawa card distribution: when and where".  This only needs to be done once!  Gone are the days of then needing to recharge your U-Pass each year!

You do not need to add the U-Pass to your student card if:

• You obtained your student card on or after May 1^st, 2024.
• You had the U-Pass added in person at the uOttawa Card service, Housing reception or Sports Service over the summer.
• Your student card works on the transit system.

I am unsure if my student card has the U-Pass capability, what should I do:

• Consult the “Fall 2024 student uOttawa card distribution: when and where” tab above and come visit us in person. We will double check your card for you. 

Unfortunately, adding the U-Pass to your student card can only be done in person during our office hours.  Fortunately, it only takes a few seconds to add and only needs to be done once.
