The U-Pass charges are included in your student fees. For Winter Terms 1 and 2, you will be assessed the U-Pass BC fee ($140 per term or $35 per month) at the beginning of each term and will be charged for all 4 months of U-Pass at once. For the summer term only, you will be assessed and charged the U-Pass fee on a monthly basis and are only eligible for U-Pass BC in each month that you meet eligibility requirements. For example, if you are taking courses and meet eligibility requirements in May and June, you are only eligible to receive a U-Pass for May and June and will not receive a U-Pass for July and August.
You will not be issued a U-Pass if you have outstanding fees from a prior academic year on your student account, if you are not already registered in courses for the Term, or if you are not eligible. For more information on eligibility requirements, please see U-Pass BC Eligibility, Exemptions and Subsidies. You can pay your outstanding fees online through the Student Services Centre. The vending machines will not issue U-Passes BC if your UBC card has been demagnetized or has been replaced with a newer card. New UBCcards are available at the Carding Office in the UBC Bookstore.
You will no longer be eligible for U-Pass BC in the month following when you complete your course requirements. You will get a refund for the month(s) that you are no longer eligible for U-Pass BC, provided you have not picked up a pass for those months.
