No-Charge May 2022 Pass for Winter 2022 U-Pass Holders

OC Transpo is offering free transit for May 2022 to eligible winter 2022 U-Pass holders.

Students must pick up a May 2022 QR pass from OC Transpo to be used with their winter 2022 U-Pass. OC Transpo will distribute passes through a mobile centre rotating between Carleton and other post-secondary institutions in Ottawa. Please note the Campus Card Office does not have passes.

Please visit the U-Pass website for further details.

This program is facilitated by OC Transpo. For more information on eligibility and pass distribution please see the OC Transpo website.

I need to RETURN my U-Pass

You do NOT need an appointment or to join our virtual line to return your U-Pass. Please use the drop slot at 407 UC any time the University Centre is accessible.

You will receive a confirmation email within three business days when the Campus Card Office reopens. If you become ineligible or opt out of your U-Pass after picking up or renewing, you MUST return your card to receive a pro-rated refund.

I need to RENEW my U-Pass

Students who are eligible to renew will receive an email notification. You do NOT need an appointment or to join our virtual line to renew your U-Pass.

Please note the building access hours and U-Pass program important dates before coming.

Students who plan to opt out or become ineligible should NOT renew their card.

I am Not in Ottawa – Do I Need a Campus Card?

Students who are not accessing on-campus resources (Athletics, Library, door access to Residence or labs) do NOT need to pick up a Campus Card.

If you are picking up your card(s), please check our current process. We strongly urge new students, staff, and faculty to review the Get Your Campus Card page in advance to verify eligibility and submit a photo. If applicable, we will provide eligible students with their U-Pass at the same time.

Visit the Campus Card Office

The Campus Card Office uses a line management and appointment booking system (QLess). You MUST use this system to join our virtual line the same day (only while we are open). The system will automatically close the line if it will take until closing to help all customers.
