U-Pass

 SPRING TERM 2012 U-PASS BC

On September 1st, 2011, Capilano University transitioned from our previous U-Pass program to the new U-Pass BC program. U-Pass BC is a universal student transit program that provides all eligible Capilano University students with an affordable and sustainable transportation program. The program is offered in partnership with the Capilano Students’ Union (CSU), TransLink and the Province of British Columbia.

The program is mandatory for all CSU members enrolled in 3 or more credits at the North Vancouver campus and the cost is automatically added to fees upon registration.

The program provides unlimited, all zone access to public transit in Metro Vancouver including TransLink Bus, SkyTrain and SeaBus services (all zones) and a discount on West Coast Express Train fares.

Please be advised that students are responsible for the full U-Pass BC fee whether or not a pass has been picked up for each month of the term.

The January 2012 U-Pass will be available after 11:00am Tuesday, December 20.  The University will be closed from December 24 until January 3 inclusive.  We will re-open on Wednesday January 4 at 8:30am.

QUICK FACTS:

  • All fees MUST BE PAID IN FULL or have a FEE DEFERRAL in place before obtaining a U-Pass
