U-Pass Requirements

Before you come to Distribution please read the following requirements for the U-Pass:

Starting Fall of 2025 DePaul University will move to an opt-in U-Pass system. This change ensures that only students who choose to use the U-Pass will be charged the associated fee. The U-Pass fee for Undergraduate and Graduate students is $108 for the Fall, Winter and Spring terms and $89 for the Summer term. The U-Pass fee for Law Students is $171 for the Fall and Spring terms and $71 for the Summer term. 

Key Details:

• Eligibility: Students enrolled in at least 4 credit hours are eligible to receive a U-Pass. This change now expands access to part-time students.
• How to Enroll: All students—both new and returning—must complete the U-Pass opt-in form each term they wish to participate in the program.
• Enrollment Requirement: Students who are not enrolled in a minimum of 4 credit hours by the last day to drop classes for the term will have their U-Pass deactivated and the fee will be refunded to their student account.
• To ensure that the $108 U-Pass fee is covered by Financial Aid, please be sure to complete the opt-in form prior to September 3rd.
• The last day to complete the opt-in form for the fall term is September 23rd. 
• If you have questions about the U-Pass please contact upass@depaul.edu

This updated process simplifies U-Pass distribution, eliminates unnecessary charges, and increases accessibility for more students.
