The U-Pass BC program is a partnership between BC post-secondary institutions, their student societies, TransLink, and the Province of British Columbia. SFU's U-Pass BC Program is a mandatory program for all members of the Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) and all members of the Graduate Student Society (GSS).

You will need to buy an Adult Compass Card from one of the TransLink options listed on their website.

Once you have your Compass Card, you will need to follow a couple of simple steps before you can start using the U-Pass BC on your Compass Card:

1. Sign into the U-Pass BC website
2. Select "Simon Fraser University" from the drop down menu
3. Log in using your SFU computing ID (it's the same as your SFU email login)
4. Link your Compass Card by entering the 20-digits and CVN on the back of your Compass Card
5. Request your U-Pass BC

It can take up to 24 hours for the U-Pass BC to be loaded onto your Compass Card, so make sure to request it before the end of the month. Once the U-Pass BC is loaded onto your Compass Card on the first day of the eligible month, you can start to tap in and tap out on transit. The U-Pass BC on your Compass Card is only valid when you have your SFU student ID card with you. 

Remember to hold onto your Compass Card as you will need to log into the U-Pass BC website each month to request your monthly U-Pass BC be loaded onto your Compass Card. You will be able to request your next month's U-Pass BC starting on the 16th of the current month.

If you have questions about the U-Pass BC program, including eligibility and fees, please contact the SFU U-Pass BC office at upass@sfu.ca or 778.782.6930.

TransLink has an easy-to-follow graphic: loading your U-Pass BC on your Compass Card. More information can be found on their website. Questions about the Compass Card should be directed to TransLink at AskCompass.ca or 604.398.2042.
