Free Passes to Class

Free Passes to Class

Receiving passes for class travel is simple. Just check your account.

Through the miracle of modern technology, all eligible students will automatically receive free Ram Van passes throughout the academic term. This automated process uses your current course schedule to assign passes on a weekly basis.  Carefully consider the below information prior to registration.

Passes will be automatically issued to qualified students on Wednesday mornings. The first issuance for Fall 2018 will be 8/22/18, and will be for the following week (in this case, for 8/26 to 9/1). This cycle will repeat on a weekly basis.

Qualifications

• If you are a resident in Fordham housing, and are currently enrolled in a class at an alternate campus, then you are eligible to receive free passes.
• If you are a commuter student, and are currently enrolled in classes at more than one campus simultaneously, then you are eligible to receive free passes.
  • Note: If you do not live in Fordham housing you are considered a commuter student, regardless of the proximity of your residence to any campus.
• Passes are assigned using the student’s home campus as the departure point.
  • For resident students, the home campus is determined by the location of their residence
  • For commuter students, home campus is determined entirely by their school of enrollment.

Disputes

If you have examined the qualifications above and feel you are eligible for free travel, and have verified that passes have not been added to your account, please submit the Pass Request Form at this link. Disputes will take 2-4 days to process, during which students are responsible for their own travel. If an error is found, the student will be reimbursed for any Ram Van expenses following the submission of the form. Receipts must be provided for reimbursement.
