Student Fees
In order to maintain programs and services that benefit U of S students, the USSU collects fees. You may be eligible to opt-out of your health, dental, and U-PASS. The eligibility requirements and processes differ for each fee.
Student Union Fee
The USSU fee is used to fund Students’ Union governance and services.
U-PASS Fee
In 2006 undergraduate students voted to implement a mandatory Universal Transit Pass (U-Pass), this was made permanent in 2008.
