TTC Student ID cards
This card is required to use the TTC Post-Secondary Student Metropass.
To make a card you must go to Sherbourne Subway Station. Students will be responsible for either bringing a letter from their registrar or producing a fall/winter timetable that shows that they are attending UofT as a FULL TIME STUDENT. This is the criteria as set out by the TTC.
The TCard will not work at Sherbourne as verification of student status. The hours of operation are 3:00-7:00 pm most days but it is best to check the TTC website to confirm these hours.
All ID Cards made from this point forward will expire on October 31, 2013 and you will be required to make a new card.
If you have any questions, please email Terri at memberservices@utsu.ca
