In order to provide affordable access to transportation, the AMS and GSS, in collaboration with the University, are providing partial credit for those students who rely on public transit for their essential needs in the summer.
If you’re a registered UBC student in Summer Term 2 and are facing financial hardship, you can receive partial credit for a monthly transit pass you have purchased for July and/or August. The credit you receive will apply towards your tuition.
