• U-PASS (for credit courses and ELP)

  Non-degree students taking campus credit courses through UW Professional & Continuing Education (UW PCE), and English Language Programs (ELP) students in credit or noncredit courses on the main campus or in downtown Seattle may purchase a U-PASS through UW PCE for $132 per quarter. Important instructions regarding the U-PASS, its activation and use, and payment deadlines are on the Commuter Services website. Students must agree to the U-PASS Terms of Use before purchase or renewal and sign the U-PASS agreement. Non-Degree Online Learning students and students in UW PCE noncredit certificate programs are not eligible for the U-PASS.

  U-PASS Powered By ORCA offers unlimited rides on King County Metro, Community Transit, Pierce Transit, Kitsap Transit, or Everett Transit bus services and on Sound Transit’s buses, Link light rail and Sounder commuter trains. It also offers discounted carpool parking, vanpool subsidies, low membership rate for Zipcar (now for students 18-21), discounts and special offers at more than 40 local merchants, and discounts on helmets, lights, pedometers and more at Hall Health (Wellness Resource Center).

  More than 60 Metro, Community Transit and Sound Transit bus routes serve the University District and the campus. The U-PASS (available to students enrolled in credit courses) is valid on all Metro, Community Transit and Sound Transit bus routes, as well as the Sounder commuter train. The Commuter Services Web site provides detailed information about riding the bus or train, as well as other transportation and parking information.
