Frequently Asked Questions

What is the uPass and how does it work?

As students, affordable access to transportation is essential to our success. That’s why students voted to establish the Universal Bus Pass. Thanks to our collective purchasing power, we can access unlimited, year-round public transportation for a fraction of the normal cost.

The uPass fee for the 2023-2024 academic year is $145.00. Undergraduate students registered in at least 3.75 FCE by the Final Date to Register (Add) in September, you should be automatically enrolled in the uPass.

Graduate and students enrolled in less than 3.75 FCE by theFinal Date to Register (Add) in September or students starting classes in the Winter, Spring, or Summer terms may choose to opt in to the uPass for the same low fee.

The uPass is displayed as a sticker on your Lakehead student ID card.

Can I opt out?
There is no opt-out option for students who are charged on their tuition. Opt-in fees are non-refundable.

How do I replace a pass I lost?
If you lose your student ID card, you must first replace it at the Lakehead University Bookstore. Once you have your new card, visit the LUSU office to get a replacement sticker. There is no charge to replace your uPass the first time you lose it. A replacement fee of $145.00 will apply for any replacement stickers after your first free one.

What are the benefits?
Not only do you save a significant amount of money (it costs about 5% of what a yearly pass would cost), but it's also a safe way to ride home from events, parties, and clubs. Plus, a reduced demand for parking helps to maintain the green space on campus. You'll also never be left stranded, especially in the winter—it's a great backup plan for when your car doesn't start! Everyone's participation in the program helps reduce the costs for all students and reduces barriers to education.
