U-Pass Renewal Information
Returning students who already have the new AC Card + U-Pass (one card): U-Passes will automatically be renewed for U-Pass eligible students who have already picked up their new AC Card + U-Pass in the Winter 2025 or Fall 2024 Term. You no longer need to tap your card to renew!
Returning students who do not have the new AC Card + U-Pass (still have a blue U-Pass card): If you did not pick up a new AC Card + U-Pass in the Winter 2025 or Fall 2024 term, you will need a new card as all old AC Cards and U-Passes are being replaced to one card! Your existing AC Card and blue U-Pass will no longer work. If you require the new AC Card + U-Pass (one card), please visit the Card Services office to get your new card, at no additional cost. You do not need to upload a new photo, as we will use your existing photo still on file. Please bring your current AC Card with you, as we will need to collect it when we issue you a new AC Card + U-Pass. You can pick up your new AC Card from the Card Services Office located in E120 (first floor of student commons).
Returning students who have never had an AC Card and or U-Pass: Returning students who have never had an AC Card must upload a photo online. Once your photo is approved, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to pick up your card. DYK: Your U-Pass is not valid during each “break” term. It is only valid when you are a full-time registered Algonquin College student and paying U-Pass fees. During these terms, you might be eligible for a discounted EquiPass from OC Transpo.
