Student Semester Passes are only available to students enrolled in the current semester. Both graduate students and undergraduate students are eligible to buy this pass. Spring 2024 Semester passes are available for purchase at the ID Office starting Thursday, Dec. 7, 2023. Student Semester Passes are not available for purchase during the summer semester.

The Student Semester Pass can and should be linked to your Spartan Card. Linking your bus pass to your Spartan Card enables you to get 1 free replacement if your pass is lost or damaged. The pass cannot be replaced if it has not been linked to your Spartan Card. If you purchase your pass from the ID Office, we will link the pass to your ID card at the time of purchase. If your Student Semester Pass is purchased elsewhere, or if it is given to you by your apartment complex, you can bring your Student Semester Pass and your Spartan Card into the ID Office to have them linked.
