Special Fall 2020 U-Pass Information
Please be sure to check the Fall 2020 U-Pass FAQ page here: https://www.luc.edu/upass/aboutu-pass/fall2020u-passfaq for up-to-date information on how U-Pass dates, fees, and waivers will work for the unique Fall 2020 semester. For Fall 2020, the CTA has allowed eligible Loyola students to withdraw from participation in the U-Pass program, if they wish to do so. Students who withdraw will need to request a waiver and will not be charged the U-Pass fee or have their U-Pass activated for Fall 2020. The above link will have information on how to request the waiver when it becomes available.
