Reminder: Spring 2025 U-PASS+ program

Dear UIC students:

UIC students who opt into U-PASS have the option to add Metra Rail as part of the U-PASS+ program. This will allow unlimited rides across any line except the Southshore line, providing UIC students with unprecedented access to the Chicagoland area and beyond.

For U-PASS+ details and to add Metra Rail, visit go.uic.edu/UPASSplus.

For Spring 2025, the CTA U-PASS and U-PASS+ are available for all students taking at least six credit hours.

• Spring U-PASS and U-PASS+ will be active from Jan. 8 – May 14, 2025 (dates for the UIC College of Medicine are Jan. 1 – Apr. 30, and the UIC College of Dentistry is Jan. 1 – May 7).
• The deadline to opt in for the Spring 2025 U-PASS and U-PASS+ is Feb. 13 at 11:59 p.m.
• After Feb. 2, you cannot change your opt-in status for the duration of the Spring session. No exceptions can be made for missing the opt-in deadline.
• Students who drop below six credit hours before the add/drop deadline will have their U-PASS deactivated.
• Students who opt in but are not registered with the required minimum of credit hours will not be eligible and will not be assessed the fee.
• Fees:
  • Spring 2025 U-PASS (CTA) is $163 for most students (UIC College of Medicine is $175)
  • Spring 2025 U-PASS+ (CTA + Metra) is $349 for most students (UIC College of Medicine is $366)

We encourage all students to review their current opt-in status to confirm it is set accordingly at go.uic.edu/spring_upass. For students with existing U-PASS cards, the standard policies on lost/replacement cards will still be enforced.

Thank you,

UIC ID Center Team
