U-Pass
Our U-Pass program provides students with unlimited travel on Durham Region Transit (DRT) throughout the school year. The cost is included in your ancillary fees each semester.
U-Passes are distributed to registered students at the beginning of each semester. If you register for courses after the semester begins, your pass will be issued one business day after the U-Pass fee is added to your tuition account.
Your U-Pass is valid during the following periods:
- Fall: September 1 to December 31.
- Winter: January 1 to April 30.
- Spring/summer: May 1 to August 31.
Note: If you haven't been charged the U-Pass fee and would like to opt in, please email upass@ontariotechu.ca around the start of the semester. Make sure to include your full name and student number.
