Getting a U-Pass

Distribution dates, times and locations will be announced approximately one month prior to the start of each fall and spring semester.  After the official distribution dates, U-Passes may be picked up in the ARTICard/U-Pass Office. 

Returning full-time students who had a U-Pass during the previous semester will pick up a pre-printed pass.  New and Transfer full-time students will need to have their pictures taken by the CTA during the official distribution times.

You must bring your ARTICard student ID and be registered with full-time credits to pick up the U-Pass. Please Note: If you miss the official distribution period, U-Passes may take up to seven business days to process.
