If you're a new credit student at Regent, you'll need to obtain a Campus Wide Login (your online account with the University of British Columbia), a UBCcard (UBC student ID), and a Compass Card (reloadable transit pass). Follow the step-by-step instructions below to get started.

For general information about the U-Pass program, including eligibility and exemption criteria, please see our main U-Pass page.

Regent College is an affiliate of the University of British Columbia. As a Regent student, you are automatically assigned a UBC ID number. You will need your UBC ID number to create a CWL.

You can find your UBC ID in REGIS. After you login, look at the bottom of the column containing your profile information. Your UBC ID is an 8-digit number.

Create CWL

Once you have a CWL, you can submit a UBCcard request via UBCcard Online Services. Once your UBCcard has been printed by UBC, you will immediately be able to load your U-Pass online.

Request UBCcard

A Compass Card is a durable, re-loadable electronic fare card that you will load your U-Pass onto each month. Whenever you ride a bus or SkyTrain, you simply tap your Compass Card to get on board.

If you don't already have a Compass Card, you can pick one up from various locations around Vancouver, including the UBC bookstore, for a $6 deposit. (TransLink has a map of Compass card vendors on its website.)

Find a Vendor

Before using your U-Pass for the first time, you need to link it to your Compass Card.

• Go to the U-Pass BC site.
• Select UBC as your school.
• Enter your CWL login and password.
• Link your Compass Card using the 20-digit card number and 3-digit verification number on the back of the Compass Card.

Note: You'll need to repeat this process if you ever have to replace your Compass Card.

Link Your U-Pass

Once you’ve linked your Compass Card, you’ll need to load your U-Pass for each month.

• You can load the next month’s U-Pass any time on or after the 16th of the month (e.g., you can link September’s U-Pass starting August 16).
• It can take up to two days for your pass to register on your card, so load next month’s pass early!
