the coverage either because you have another insurance plan
or are now registered for less than 12 credits, you can

U-Pass Announcements from CTA
Lost or Stolen Cards
To get a replacement U-Pass, students should bring
their valid student ID and $35 (cash, credit card, or money
order) replacement fee to the CTA general offices. A replacement
U-Pass will be issud and sent to the school. CTA will
replace lost or stolen U-Pass cards only once per academic
term.
Captured in Fare Equipment
On the bus... When the U-Pass is mistakenly
inserted into the bus dollar slot, it is the student's responsibility
to complete a captured fare report from the bus operator.
Students bring the report along with a valid student ID
to the CTA general offices. Students do not receive a temporary
card; however, a transfer is provided.
At the rail station... After the U-Pass is captured
at the station, students are to locate the customer assistant
to complete a captured fare report and receive a free transit
card to complete the ride. The student then brings the completed
report and valid student ID to the CTA general offices to
request a new U-Pass. CTA will provide a temporary transit
card and a replacement U-Pass will be issued to the school.
If a student fails to get a report, it may take up to two
weeks to replace the U-Pass. Should this happen, students
must call 1-888-YOUR-CTA to track down their report to timely
receive a new U-Pass.
Defective, Damaged or Demagnetized
When CTA fare equipment cannot read a U-Pass, the
bus operator will allow the student to complete the ride
for free; however, the student must bring the defective,
damaged, or demagnetized U-Pass along with a valid student
ID to the CTA general offices to request a replacement.
CTA will immediately issue a temporary transit card and
a replacement U-Pass will be sent to the school.
