NJ Transit Student Pass

Any student who wants to sign up for the NJ Transit Student Pass program will need to first be registered for classes and then sign up through their pipeline account. For more information on this program, head to the NJ Transit Website for details and special offers. **If you would like to pay cash for a student train pass instead of using the NJ Transit App, these tickets are available by asking a station attendant for a student pass application. This application will need to be brought to the Student Life office for approval, then returned to the rail station to receive your paper pass. These passes are not eligible to cover light rail or bus travel.
