The uOttawa card

Much more than a student ID!

About the uOttawa Card

Your uOttawa card is not only your official University of Ottawa student card: it is also a meal plan card, library card, photocopy card, gym membership card, access card and campus debit card! The uOttawa card provides you with safe, convenient access to your money. The uOttawa card combines many cards into one.

uOttawa Meal Plans

Meal plans are loaded directly onto the uOttawa card! As a student, you can purchase food prepared on campus tax-free when you purchase it through a meal plan; however, in order to offer you these savings, the University must follow Canada Revenue Agency rules.

We also offer a unique Dietary Restriction Program; if you have a food allergy, make sure to verify if you qualify.

Consult our brochure for more information on our meal plan options.

U-Pass

Your student card is not your mandatory public transit pass (known as U-Pass). The U-Pass public transit pass is valid from September 1 to April 30, and during the summer term if you are eligible.
