Important 2020 Fall Semester 2020
In an effort to maintain recommended social distancing practices, the Brock University Students’ Union has come to agreements with the St. Catharines Transit Commission and Niagra Region Transit system to allow students to access buses using only their valid Brock student card for the fall semester. Students will not need the traditional U-Pass sticker for the fall term.BUSU will continue to follow and monitor provincial and federal recommendations and guidelines, and work with Brock and our bussing services providers to develop a safe solution for the fall term.
If you do not have a student card, or have lost your student card, please visit The Brock Card Office, who is now offering online student card fulfillment.
