For Spring/Summer fee purposes, a full-time student is registered in credit courses/thesis totalling at least six (*6) units of course weight or more taken in each spring and summer term.
Due to COVID-19 and the cancellation of transit fares, U-Pass fees will not be included in the Spring and Summer term assessments at this time. When transit resumes normal service levels and fares, we will re-evaluate the U-Pass fee.

Notes
Full-time on-campus and off-campus students are automatically enrolled in the GSA Health and Dental Plan in the Fall Term (providing 12-month coverage) and at a pro-rated cost to students who only have registration in the Winter term and did not have full-time registration in the Fall term. Students covered by equivalent health/dental plans may opt out before the change of coverage deadline in September. Newly Admitted and new registrants that are full-time Winter Term only students may opt out before the change of coverage deadline in January. (For Fall 2021, the opt-out deadline is September 23, 2021; for Winter 2022 only, the opt-out deadline is January 24, 2022.) Contact the GSA or Studentcare for more information on your specific situation.
In the case of an opt-out, please wait for the confirmation e-mail from Studentcare and allow between 7 and 10 business days for the change of coverage to be reflected in Bear Tracks. If this period of time extends over the payment deadline AND you have already received the opt-out confirmation e-mail, feel free to pay your fees excluding those for health/dental. If your opt-out situation is still unclear and the fee payment deadline is approaching, we recommend that you pay in full. Once Studentcare notifies us that you have been opted-out, the extra payment can either be moved to cover an open balance in the following term or, if no such balance exists, the sum will be refunded.
Part-time graduate students are not automatically enrolled in the GSA Health and Dental Plan; they may opt-in during specific opt-in periods before the change of coverage deadline.
The U-Pass Program is active again for all academic terms in the 2021-22 calendar year. For more information, see this page.
***Athletics and Recreation and PAW Centre Fees
The Athletics and Recreation fee is a mandatory access fee charged to all students to allow access to Athletics and Recreation services whether you use it or not. The non-instructional fees support the administration of services on campus and are not assessed as a user fee.
The Athletics and Recreation fee grants students access to sports facilities on campus for the duration of the term(s) when students are assessed and pay these fees, in this case Fall/Winter. For access in the Spring and Summer terms, students need to be registered in on-campus courses or Opt-In.
As per a referendum voted on by students, the PAW Centre fee is a limited term fee that repays the loan secured for the construction of the PAW Centre.
