U-Pass: Eligibility Requirements


Fall, Winter, and Spring Term Eligibility - Starting FALL 2025 

Requirement - Enrollment 

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:

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

Students who register with DePaul's Center for Students with Disabilities can request to be removed from the Ventra U-Pass program with a Disability Waiver by contacting that office directly.
