Familiarize yourself with the cost of the U-Pass and the months for which you can use it. If you wish to submit an opt-in or refund request, be sure to do so before the deadline.

Cost and validity period

Term Validity Cost
Fall 2023 and Winter 2024 Sept 1 to Apr 30 $446.96
Winter 2024 Jan 1 to Apr 30 $223.48

Due to the full-year validity of the U-Pass (September 1 – April 30), eligible full-time students are charged the full amount of the U-Pass fees in the fall term. This means that even if you are only registered for full-time courses in the Fall term, you will be charged the fall and winter amount. If you aren’t full-time during the Winter term, you must submit an opt-out request once the winter opt-out request form is made available on December 15th. 

If you will be full-time only during the Winter term, you will be charged the U-Pass fees for the Winter term only.

Important dates

It is possible to submit an opt-in or exemption request for the U-Pass in uOzone starting on the following dates:
Fall/winter term August 15
Winter term December 15

Deadlines for full reimbursement

To obtain a full credit for their U-Pass fees, students must submit their exemption requests before the following deadlines:

Winter 2024 ($223.23) February 2, 2024 (only applicable if you were not charged in the fall term).
Spring/summer 2024 ($223.23) TBD

Once the deadline has passed, the refunded amount will be prorated, based on the date the exemption request was approved and finalized. No refunds will be issued retroactively.
