Univeristy of Toronto Mississauga campus students, get ready for an $89 increase in next year’s tuition thanks to ‘UPass.’ What is UPass? It’s a Mississauga Transit pass that allows a full school-year’s worth of unlimited travel on the Mississauga Transit system.

There are plans for bringing this to U of T’s downtown campus where students can currently purchase a monthly TTC Metropass for much less than regular price. This may be good news for people who use Mississauga’s public transportation system to get to UTM but what about those who don’t? Students living on campus probably don’t need an $89 tuition hike on top of soaring tuition fees. But then again, they can just opt-out, right? Wrong. The $89 UPass fee is currently non-refundable.
