New student cards, as well as old student cards with last year's sticker will remain valid bus passes for the duration of the three week grace period, ending Monday, September 21 at 11:59pm.
NOTE: Bus passes used to be a sticker mailed to students over the summer that you would stick on your student card. THIS YEAR THINGS ARE DIFFERENT! The University is no longer producing stickers to affix to a student card. For the upcoming academic year, the HSR bus pass will be a
SEPARATE CARD issued by the McMaster Students Union (MSU), the Graduate Student Association (GSA), the Campus Store and the HSR.
New this year,
both the new bus pass card and a valid student card must be presented to an operator to board the HSR transit system. The bus pass gives full-time students unlimited access to the HSR bus system from August 29th, 2015 through August 31, 2016.
