MBTA Semester Student Passes

One semester's worth of monthly MBTA passes may be ordered through the Office of Student Leadership and Activities at MCB-W002. Through this program, students receive four monthly passes at a 30% discount from the normal MBTA cost. The deadline set by the MBTA for purchasing fall passes (including September, October, November, and December) is usually in the first week of August and the deadline for purchasing spring passes (including February, March, April, and May) is usually in mid-January. Discounted passes are not available for sale on a monthly basis.  Students who do not meet the deadline set by the MBTA for participating in the semester program should by passes directly from the MBTA if they decide they still need montly passes.
