U-Pass and Campus Card Combined This Fall
As a reminder, the U-Pass and Campus Card are now combined.
If your Campus Card was issued before Monday, July 1, 2024, you will need to add the new transit application to your card at the Campus Card Office in 407 Nideyinàn during office hours. You will be enrolled in the program and your U-Pass will be activated as soon as you meet the eligibility requirements. This process replaces the blue U-Pass card and reloading method.
If you received your Campus Card after Monday, July 1, 2024, the transit application is already on your card. Your U-Pass will be activated automatically.
On your first bus or train ride, hold your card on the terminal for up to 10 seconds to activate it. Once activated, simply tap your card for future rides.
