All students, full-time or part-time, are automatically opted-in and assessed the full U-Pass fee each Fall and Winter semester.
Fees are automatically assessed and captured by the Cashiers office at the University of Windsor. Students should refer to their statement of account for tuition, fees and amounts owing to the University; assessed U-Pass fees are shown in detail.
Students eligible to opt out, may only do so prior to the opt-out deadline in the Fall. This deadline is published for the nearest semester, prior to or early said semester.
