This ID must be kept handy for ticket checks with the 10-ride student ticket or monthly pass; students in this category do not require a separate GO Student ID card unless their school does not issue student identification. School-issued IDs distributed in the 2008-09 school year are valid for student fares until October 31, 2009; school-issued IDs distributed in the 2009-10 school year are valid for student fares until October 31, 2010. Post-secondary students (see below for Durham Region exception) To qualify for the student-rate fare, full-time students registered in an Canadian university or college must have a GO Student ID card when travelling. This GO ID must be kept handy with a student 10-ride ticket or monthly pass for ticket checks. The GO Student ID is valid with student tickets for the entire period of full-time study and must be renewed each new school year. For students registered for seven months or more of full-time classes, GO Transit ID cards are valid throughout the summer months. For the 2009-10 school year, these cards expire October 31, 2010. The post-secondary schools
listed below provide an online service to request a GO Student ID during
registration. On-line forms are available at these schools:
Durham College, University of
Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), and Trent University's Oshawa campus
School-issued student cards from Durham College, UOIT, and Trent
University's Oshawa campus, that indicate the cardholder's full-time status, are
accepted as valid fare on DRT and GO buses travelling within Durham Region.
These student cards, which feature a small bus icon, are not accepted as fare on
GO Trains, but are considered valid student identification when travelling with
a student-discount fare. Although DRT U-Passes are not valid for travel
after the end of the school year, they can be used as GO Transit Student
Identification to qualify for student fares during the summer months. Student
cards from 2009-10 expire October 31, 2010. Students attending
post-secondary schools not listed above may obtain a GO Student ID card by using
a paper application available in their school’s Registrar’s office. They must
have an authorized official at their school sign the completed application form. To obtain a card, the signed
application form can be submitted to the Union Station Customer Service Centre
in one of three ways: 1. Take the signed form to
Union Station Customer Service where a card will be made up on the spot. 2. Take the signed form to any
GO Train station. It will be sent to Union Station to be processed, and then
returned for pick-up at the station of the student’s choice. (Please allow 2-4
weeks for processing.) 3. Mail the signed form, along
with a self-addressed, stamped return envelope to: Union Station,
